Ireland’s data protection watchdog has launched an investigation into X over concerns about sexualized images created and published using the Grok AI chatbot.

The probe will determine whether billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform has complied with its obligations regarding the processing of European Union users’ personal data, according to a statement by the Dublin-based Data Protection Commission on Tuesday. The investigation has been initiated under the Data Protection Act.
