Elon Musk’s X allows users to prevent their messages and interactions from contributing to the training of his artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok.
By default, settings for X users allow their data to be provided to the chatbot. But “all X users have the ability to control whether their public messages can be used to train Grok, the AI search assistant,” the company wrote in a post on X on Friday. “This setting is available on the web platform and will roll out on mobile soon.”
The company added that users can also prevent their information from being processed by the chatbot by making their accounts private.
Grok, an AI chatbot currently available to premium subscribers on X, was first released in November of last year as a rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The chatbot is part of artificial intelligence startup xAI, which is also owned by Musk, and was trained on X data.
Musk has been vocal about using X’s data to train Grok. The AI chatbot has already used X’s messages to summarize news events and answer questions with real-time information.
Representatives of X had no further comment.
