Data Protection Commissioner warned firms over use of AI prior to X court hearing

Dublin-based Twitter International is the data controller in the EU/EEA in respect of all personal data carried out on X, formerly Twitter.
The Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) warned companies over their use of artificial intelligence (AI) with personal data last month, prior to taking social media giant X to court earlier this week.
In a notice on its website, the DPC said that publicly accessible personal data falls within the scope of the EU’s GDPR legislation and that companies need to consider the privacy risks of using such data in their AI products and the need to be transparent with consumers.
