It is a steak knife with a six-inch blade. The gardaí would not have had to search him and find the knife.

It comes after research revealed that 6,700 non-consensual ‘undressing’ and ‘nudifying’ images per hour were being processed online by Elon Musk’s AI system in recent days. During a 24-hour analysis of images the @Grok account posted to X, the chatbot generated about 6,700 every hour that were identified as sexually suggestive or nudifying, according to Oh’s research. Regulators have told the Irish Independent that they are exploring ways of addressing the controversy over Grok underusing minors online. However, xAI claims that Ireland is not its ‘lead regulator’ within the EU, like its sister company, X. However, the controversy has not dented the fortunes of xAI, the division of Elon Musk’s company that owns and runs Grok.

So we have European law and we have domestic Irish law in connection with this,” Mr Burke said. The charity, which works to prevent domestic violence and abuse, will no longer maintain a presence on the platform X from tomorrow. With Coimisiún na Meán now working with the EU in relation to the use of AI to create these images, Mr Burke said these investigations needed to run their course. He was 10 and two or three people said to my young Leo, ‘Oh, happy birthday’,” Mr Burke said. "I'm acutely conscious of the horrendous case of Nicole 'Coco' Fox from Clondalkin who of course died by suicide due to online abuse so we know how devastating online abuse of any kind can be - we have to see this in that perspective,” she said.

Just one political party has stopped using Elon Musk's X, as concerns over the creation of explicit images by its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok rumble on. While several parties confirmed to the Irish Examiner they are reviewing their use of the social media platform, only the Green Party confirmed that it and its leader, Roderic O’Gorman, have stopped. A Green Party spokesperson confirmed that both the party and its leader have stopped using X. “In December, the Green Party Executive Committee agreed that the party would move away from posting on X, a move that began in the New Year,” they confirmed. A spokesperson for Aontú said the party is not considering a change in how it uses X but called for Grok to be banned in Ireland.
