,the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, had started feeding the personal data of 60 million European users into their Grok AI technology.
Grok AI feeds users data privacy without their consent. The platform Elon Musk has faced privacy complaints after the Grok AI exposed the user's data privacy in the European Union.
Last month, a social media user discovered a setting. This setting means X has started processing regional user post-data privacy to train their Grok AI chatbot. Noyb, the European Center of Digital Rights, filed complaints. These complaints follow the Ireland Data Protection Commission (DPC) taking court action against the Elon Musk platform. DPC is a watchdog that guides oversight of submission with the bloc General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
GDPR can sanction confirmed violations with fines of up to 4% of global annual turnover. Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, and five other countries have accused Grok and X of processing European posts to train the artificial intelligence without their consent. Noyb launched similar legal action against Meta, causing them to block their AI plans.
`We have seen countless instances of inefficient and partial enforcement by the DPC in the previous years. We want to ensure that Twitter fully complies with EU law, which — at a bare minimum — requires to ask users for consent in this case.` Max Schrems, the chairman of Noyb, declares about Grok.

sued in the Irish High Court. They sought an injunction to force the artificial intelligence platform to receive private data. But Noyb complained about the DPC action. They said the artificial intelligence platform can’t delete the ingested data.
`Companies that interact directly with users simply need to show them a yes/no prompt before using their data. They do this regularly for lots of other things, so it would definitely be possible for AI training as well` declared Schrems about the AI platform. According to DPC, X was processing the European data for AI model training between May 7 and August 1.
Noyb notes that generative AI providers claim they can’t follow other GDPR rules. Concern features in other outstanding GDPR complaints against OpensAI ChatGPT.
