Social media platform X refused an invitation to appear before an Oireachtas Committee next month. The refusal was described as "deeply concerning" after senior X executives met with AI minister Niamh Smyth. Ms Smyth said "concerns remain" regarding X's AI tool Grok as a standalone app. The meeting sought X representatives' response to ongoing concerns that Grok was used to AI-generate deepfake sexualised images. The alleged deepfakes included child sexual abuse material. The refusal to attend the committee hearing comes amid unresolved safety, regulatory and child protection concerns related to X's AI capabilities and content moderation.
