MILAN: Italy’s data protection authority announced on Monday that it has told OpenAI that its artificial intelligence application ChatGPT violates data protection rules.
Following an investigation launched last year, regulators said in a statement that they believe there are elements that indicate potential violations.
He added that OpenAI has 30 days to submit defense arguments.
Italian data authorities temporarily banned ChatGPT last year for allegedly violating EU privacy rules.
Back in April last year, Italian authorities accused OpenAI of failing to verify the age of ChatGPT users and criticized the “lack of legal basis” to justify mass collection and storage of personal data.
In a statement, the Privacy Protection Agency set out a series of “specific” demands that should be met as soon as possible. Italy became the first country in Western Europe to oppose OpenAI, but the technology’s rapid development has attracted the attention of lawmakers and regulators around the world. some countries.
Many experts argue that new regulations are needed to govern AI because of its potential impacts on national security, employment, and education.
