Ireland's data regulator ends court proceedings against X

Ireland's Data Protection Commission has dropped court proceedings against a social media platform, X, after the company agreed to limit its use of personal data collected from European Union users for AI training purposes on a permanent basis.

The commission will seek an opinion from the European Data Protection Board to establish regulations for the processing of personal data in AI training.
