X, a social media platform, has resolved its legal battle with the European Data Protection Commission (DPC) by agreeing to halt its AI data collection practices and erase user data from the EU and European Economic Area (EEA). The DPC had filed a complaint citing a risk to the "fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals" due to X's use of personal data from EU and EEA users to train its artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok.

The court required that Twitter International, the company behind X's operations, permanently comply with the data collection requests. X said it would erase previous data from May 7 to Aug. 1 and agreed not to collect any further data for the sake of developing, enhancing or training Grok.

DPC Commissioner Des Hogan welcomed the outcome, stating that it protects the rights of EU and EEA citizens. This was the first time the DPC had to take such action and invoke its powers under Section 134 of the 2018 Data Protection Act.
