The clash between billionaire Elon Musk's xAI empire and European officials is intensifying with leaders in Poland and Germany calling for more aggressive action against the company. German lawmaker Ralf Stegner, responding to antisemitic comments that xAI's chatbot Grok made Tuesday on Musk's social media platform, X, said the posts "must not be tolerated under any circumstances" and called for sanctions in an interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt. Poland's government separately urged the European Union to investigate and possibly fine xAI following lewd comments made by Grok about the country's politicians. The European Union is already investigating Musk's social media platform under a relatively new content-moderation policy known as the Digital Services Act and had been weighing a fine ahead of its summer recess in August. The regulator is reportedly considering calculating the fine by including revenue from Musk's other businesses, including SpaceX and Neuralink, an approach that would significantly increase the potential penalties.

In February 2019 Polish government added an amendment to a banking law that gives a customer a right to receive an explanation in case of a negative credit decision. This means that a bank needs to be able to explain why the loan wasn't granted if the decision process was automatic.

Warsaw prosecutors have officially informed a Russian citizen that he is suspected of violating Polish aviation law by flying a drone over Polish government buildings in Warsaw. In Poland, this is the first step toward charges being possibly pressed against the man, identified only as Ivan K., in line with Poland's privacy regulations. Police detained the man Monday on suspicion he was operating a drone that was flying in the prohibited area around Prime Minister Beata Szydlo's office and other state buildings. Spokesman for the prosecutors, Michal Dziekanski, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that following questioning the man was given a suspect status and released. If charged and convicted of flying a drone in an off-limits area, he could face up to five years in prison.
