Listen Back: Monaghan man calls on people to suspend their X accounts. Young Fine Gael has announced the immediate suspension of its use of X. This is in response to the platform’s ongoing and severe failures to protect children.
Moreover, they say there has been a number of issues that are concerning; but most alarmingly; recent reports reveal that the platform’s Grok AI tool is used to create sexually explicit images of children.
They say this is a catastrophic failure demonstrating the reckless disregard X shows for child safety.
On January 9th, following several days of sustained public pressure, X announced that they would limit Grok’s image generation features to paid subscribers only.
Monaghan native Caolán Maguire, YFG Vice President and Director of Policy said as someone studying the use of artificial intelligence in medicine and medical research; he see's every day how transformative these technologies can be. The local man spoke in detail to Ronan Gargan on today's Wider View about the idea to suspend their X accounts.
