New Delhi: With the heavy integration of AI tools into the social media platform, the concerns regarding the way the data is used and the privacy become increasingly more intense. The example of Grok, the AI assistant developed by xAI and integrated into X, is not an exception. Although the Grok service provides real-time answers that are witty and use the power of the general public posting and web search, it uses the user information to enhance and customise interactions.
The positive thing is that X provides control to the users. Users can customise the amount of data that Grok can get access to by restricting the use of public posts in training AI, turning off personalisation, and deleting chat history. The following is a brief description of what Grok is, the way it uses information and how you can opt out.
Grok is an AI assistant on web and mobile for the X users. Developed by xAI, it assists in responding to queries, generating ideas, and offering real-time clues based on the posts of the general public on the topic, as well as real-time searches on the web. Grok is supposed to be conversational, rebellious, and funny in contrast to the traditional assistants.
Grok is able to retrieve posts, profiles, and engagement data to create the latest responses. X can provide public information and user activity with xAI to train and fine-tune Grok. These are text inputs, voice inputs and conversation results.
This process, according to X, assists in enhancing accuracy, relevance and even tone and humour of Grok.
X has access to your interests, engagement patterns and interaction with Grok to customise responses. Voice data can be typed up and distributed to make your experience better. This personalisation is not compulsory and may be shut off.
Users can opt out of AI model training by changing privacy settings:
You can still use Grok after opting out, but your interactions won’t be used to improve future models.
To stop Grok from tailoring responses based on your activity:
X also allows users to erase past conversations:
Deleted data is removed within 30 days, unless required for legal or security reasons.
Making your account private prevents your posts from being used for AI training or appearing in Grok responses:
Grok is still an early-stage AI and may produce incorrect or misleading information. X advises users not to share personal, sensitive, or confidential data during conversations.
Grok is currently available on X for iOS, Android, and web users. You can access it directly from the navigation bar on the X app or website.
