ChatGPT, one of the most popular artificial intelligence technologies of recent times, is used all over the world today. However, the situation in Italy is a bit complicated. Maybe there are some of our readers who remember; A few months ago, Italy first banned the use of ChatGPT and then reversed this decision. The reason for such a decision was privacy concerns.
Now a new move has come from the Italian government. Italy’s personal data protection authority has launched an investigation into generative AI technologies’ collection of personal data for education. Italian authorities will investigate whether the data used for training ChatGPT complies with the European Union Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The review could lead to trouble for ChatGPT
Italy’s personal data protection authority will reveal what measures OpenAI takes to collect personal data through its investigations. If it turns out that OpenAI has taken sufficient precautions as a result of the review, the discussions about the artificial intelligence-supported chat bot will be left behind. Otherwise, a troublesome process may begin for OpenAI. Because an Italian official speaking to Reuters said that necessary steps could be taken according to the results of the investigation.
The review alone is important, but there is more to it than that. The Italian government requested that artificial intelligence experts, academics and even some groups related to end consumers be included in the research so that it could reach the widest possible scope. We will see together what the results of the 60-day review period will be.
