X faces controversy over using user data for training AI chatbot Grok: Report
Several X accounts have made comments on the social media platform’s default setting that allows user’s data “to train Grok.”
Elon Musk’s social media platform X is reportedly under scrutiny by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) after widespread reports emerged that a change in default settings allowed users’ X data to be fed into the training of Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok.
“The DPC has been engaging with X on this matter for a number of months, with our latest interaction occurring as recently as yesterday,” the DPC told TechCrunch on July 25.
“Therefore we are surprised by today’s developments. We have followed up with X today and are awaiting a response. We expect further engagement early next week,” the Commission commented.
