Ireland Launches Large-Scale Inquiry Into Musk’s AI Bot Grok. Ireland’s data protection regulator has opened a major investigation into X over sexualized deepfakes generated by its AI tool Grok. The Irish Data Protection Commission said it is probing Grok’s apparent creation of non-consensual intimate images involving Europeans, including minors. Grok, integrated into X and owned by Elon Musk, sparked controversy after going viral for generating explicit manipulated images. Rights groups estimate Grok produced around 3 million sexualized images in 11 days, including roughly 23,000 involving children. The Irish regulator is assessing compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, under which fines can reach 4 percent of global annual turnover. The European Commission has also launched a separate probe under the Digital Services Act, escalating scrutiny across the bloc. Authorities in the U.K., France and California have opened their own investigations, signaling coordinated international concern. X introduced restrictions in January to curb Grok’s image-generation feature, eventually blocking users from creating such images altogether.
