Irish Regulators Investigate X Over AI Images

The Data Protection Commission and Coimisiún na Meán told Ireland’s Oireachtas AI Committee this week they are investigating X after Grok allegedly generated non-consensual and sexualised images, including of children. DPC chair Des Hogan said regulators have levied over €4 billion in fines and face legal challenges, while Coimisiún na Meán urged using the AI Act to target deployers, noting creation and sharing remain criminal offences. The European Commission is also probing X.
