Using personal data for AI model training raises questions about consent, data minimization, and the purposes for which data was originally collected, particularly under GDPR and emerging AI governance frameworks.
Interpretive note: The policy does not specify the lawful basis for AI training use under GDPR, nor does it detail available opt-out mechanisms specific to this use case; the practical effect on users depends on regulatory interpretation and enforcement context.
The policy states X collects a broad range of personal data including posts, direct messages, location information, device identifiers, browsing and interaction activity, inferred interests, and payment details, and authorizes using this data for advertising, service personalization, and AI and machine learning model training.
