Social media platform X has been accused of misleading the AI minister about disabling its AI chatbot’s ‘nudification’ function worldwide after a TD’s office used the tool to generate undressed photos of himself.

Niamh Smyth was at the Oireachtas committee on AI in the wake of continued international outcry about the platform’s AI chatbot Grok and the creation of sexually manipulated images, including those of children.
