Jan. 26 (UPI) -- The European Commission announced Sunday that it is investigating X's Grok artificial intelligence chatbot over allegations that the platform allows people to manipulate images and undress women and girls without their consent.
The European Commission's investigation was launched under the European Union's Digital Services Act. The Commission is extending its ongoing investigation of X's recommender systems, which launched in December 2023. That investigation is looking into whether X's algorithm that recommends specific posts to X users is disseminating illegal content, such as child sexual abuse material.
If X is found to have broken the EU's laws under the DSA, the Commission could fine the company up to 6% of its total global revenue.
Before the announcement, Elon Musk, owner of X, posted an image appearing to joke about the ongoing investigations.
