Grok faces more scrutiny over deepfakes as Irish regulator opens EU privacy investigation

AP News LONDON (AP) — Elon Musk's social media platform X faces a European Union privacy investigation after its Grok AI chatbot started spitting out nonconsensual deepfake images, Ireland's data privacy regulator said Tuesday.

Ireland's Data Protection Commission said it notified X on Monday that it was opening the inquiry under the 27-nation EU's strict data privacy regulations, adding to the scrutiny X is facing in Europe and other parts of the world over Grok’s behavior.

AP News An exhibit about nine people enslaved by George Washington must be restored at his former home in Philadelphia after President Donald Trump’s administration took it down last month, a federal judge ruled on Presidents Day, the federal holiday honoring Washington's legacy.

Eileen Gu wins silver for 5th Olympic medal. Canadian Megan Oldham's gold is her 2nd of the Games

AP News LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — Eileen Gu last competed in a big air contest four years ago. She learned the trick that helped her reach the medals stand Monday night four days ago. Then, in a frenzied training session before the snowy Olympic final, she tried an even bigger trick, but hit her head on the landing and cracked her helmet.

Given all that, finishing second, a mere 1.75 points behind Canada's Megan Oldham, felt like a victory, not a loss for the sport's best-known star. Given all that, picking up a fifth medal in the five events she has entered over two Winter Olympics felt...
