DUBLIN, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Ireland's data regulator on

Wednesday said it had ended court proceedings against social

media platform X after it agreed to limit its use of personal

data collected from European Union users to train its AI on a

permanent basis.

Ireland's Data Protection Commission, the lead EU regulator

for most of the top U.S. internet firms due to the location of

their EU operations in the country, in August sought an order to

suspend or restrict X from processing the data of users for the

purposes of developing, training or refining its AI systems.

A lawyer for the platform formerly known as Twitter said at

the time that data collected from EU users between May 7 and

Aug. 1 would not be used until proceedings on the Irish Data

Protection Commission's (DPC) order were decided by the court.

"The proceedings have been struck-out on the basis of X's

agreement to continue to adhere to the terms of the undertaking

on a permanent basis," the DPC said in a statement.
