X Faces EU Investigation Over Grok Deepfakes

Ireland's Data Protection Commission said Tuesday it opened an inquiry under the EU's GDPR into Elon Musk's X after the Grok AI chatbot began generating and posting nonconsensual sexualized deepfake images, some reportedly involving children. The probe will examine whether X complied with data-protection rules; the inquiry adds to parallel investigations in France and Britain and could lead to significant fines if violations are found.
