A European Commission spokesperson has said it is analysing the Grok AI issue and there could be some movement on it "in the near future".
Olof Gill told RTÉ's News at One that the Commission takes very seriously the responsibilities it has towards EU citizens.
"These are spelt out in digital regulation that's there to protect citizens, to make sure that they can enjoy the benefits of technology and the Internet without having to suffer the worst effects and any decisions we take will be very much with that uppermost in their minds," Mr Gill said.
The Government has said that concerns remain about features on the Grok AI tool operated by the X social media platform that allow users to digitally remove clothing from images of people, including children.
The Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Attorney General, as well as the Ministers for AI, Justice and Communications, will meet this evening to discuss existing laws relating to the generation and sharing of sexual abuse images.
Representatives from the media regulator Coimisiún na Meán are also expected to attend the meeting.
CEO of IDA Michael Lohan Ireland said the controversial features on Grok are "morally wrong".
"That's not where Ireland or the sector sees itself," Mr Lohan told RTÉ's News at One.
"We need to focus on ethical, safe and responsible technology," he added.
On Thursday, X said it had implemented technological measures to prevent Grok from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis.
The company also said it would "geoblock" the ability of users to generate images of real people in bikinis, underwear, and similar attire "in those jurisdictions where it's illegal".
The undressing or "nudification" features still appear to be available to users in Ireland.
