This inquiry follows concerns regarding the use of European user data to train the AI chatbot. The investigation has raised the possibility of substantial fines for X if it is found to have breached regulations. The European Union is actively scrutinizing the use of personal data in AI technologies, with ongoing efforts to align the AI Act with EU data protection laws.
