X Will Permanently Cease Using Personal Data to Train AI Tool Grok

X permanently agreed to stop using personal data in public posts of EU and European Economic Area users to train its AI tool, Grok, the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) said Wednesday. Accordingly, the Irish High Court dismissed a proceeding against the social media site, the DPC said (see 2408080020). The regulator is now more generally "addressing issues arising from the use of personal data in AI models across industry" and asked the European Data Protection Board for an opinion under the EU general data protection regulation to "trigger discussion" on several core issues.
