Public Announcement on Grok Artificial Intelligence Assistant was published by the Personal Data Protection Authority on February 11, 2026. A public announcement titled “Public Announcement Regarding the Grok Artificial Intelligence Assistant” was issued by the Personal Data Protection Authority on February 11, 2026. Within the framework of this public announcement, the Authority has decided to initiate an ex officio investigation against X Internet Unlimited Company and X.AI Corporation due to suspicions that necessary technical and administrative measures have not been taken under Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data, and that personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The key point giving rise to these suspicions appears to be that the Grok artificial intelligence assistant, developed by X.AI Corporation, has been used—without obtaining any form of consent—to generate sexually explicit videos and images of individuals, including children, and that such images and video recordings have been circulated on the internet. It is also noted that the European Commission has initiated an investigation into this matter.
