EU launches probe into xAI over sexualized images
Summary
Europe’s privacy watchdog, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, has opened a large-scale inquiry into Elon Musk’s xAI Grok chatbot on X, examining GDPR compliance regarding AI-generated sexual imagery and the processing of EU user data. The probe follows broader regulatory scrutiny including the EU’s Digital Services Act investigations and actions by the UK ICO and French authorities amid concerns about sexual content and data handling. The development highlights growing regulatory risk for AI-enabled social platforms and the ongoing debate over privacy, safety, and free expression.
