Ireland opens probe into Musk’s Grok AI over sexualized images

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission has opened a formal investigation into X and its AI chatbot Grok over concerns about personal data processing and its ability to generate harmful sexualized images, including of minors. The regulator, which oversees X’s EU operations, said it will assess whether the company complies with the bloc’s General Data Protection Regulation, under which fines can reach 4 percent of global revenue. The probe follows reports that Grok produced altered near-nude images of real people despite safeguards, prompting international scrutiny. Separate investigations have also been launched by the European Commission and U.K. authorities, while critics including Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk have questioned European tech regulations.
