The Irish court drops privacy case against X after data suspension agreement

X, a social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has reached an agreement with the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) to suspend data collection for EU users in order to train its AI model, Grok. As a result, the privacy case filed by the DPC against X has been dropped.

However, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) may still investigate X's parent company, xAI, for potential violations of EU privacy laws. xAI is facing nine complaints filed by the European Centre for Digital Rights, alleging breaches of 16 articles of the EU's privacy laws.

The outcome of the EDPB investigation could result in penalties of up to 4% of xAI's global revenue. X developed Grok as a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT.

It now has over 200 million weekly users, and 90% of Fortune 500 companies use its products. Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft are investing in OpenAI. However, concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of xAI's supercomputer and the privacy issues surrounding the training of Grok with user data. The future of AI is being shaped by these advancements and the potential integration of ChatGPT into various devices and platforms.
