Network X will have to explain the AI ​​platform

The National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) has informed that it will summon representatives of network technology.

The alert was created because content posted on social network X by users will be used to train the generative AI Grok, created by the platform itself.

In an update to its privacy policy effective November 15, the company plans to make user data and posts available so it can “train” artificial intelligence. “If there is a risk of serious harm to the data protection or privacy of data subjects, other measures may be taken,” the National Data Protection Agency noted, in a note to the Brazilian News Agency.

Investigation since July

Under the supervision of the National Data Protection Authority, since July of this year, there has been an investigation to assess GDPR compliance regarding X Corp’s generative AI training.

“The investigation, given the terms of reference of the ANPD, is focused on the announced changes to the privacy policy. The company has so far responded to inspection requests for information,” he explained in a memo.

Interactions

On its technology disclosure page, the network explains that Grok-2 is a frontier language model with “sophisticated” reasoning abilities with which AI teachers interact in a variety of tasks that mirror real-world interactions with technology.

“Grok-2 showed significant improvements in reasoning using the retrieved content and in the capabilities of its tools, such as correctly identifying missing information, reasoning through sequences of events, and discarding irrelevant posts,” the network says.
