Key takeaways:
- Italy’s data protection authority has formally filed charges against OpenAI, accusing it of violating GDPR rules. The charges stem from a months-long investigation into the company’s data practices, and OpenAI has been given 30 days to respond.
- The company could face a fine of up to €20 million or 4% of its global annual turnover. The investigation is related to concerns that OpenAI was processing personal information of Italians at large scale without any legal basis to do so.
- OpenAI has previously agreed to add a new page and form to its website that provided more transparency around its data practices. However, one of the main concerns is the way the company scrapes data from the public internet to train its chatbots, which can contain a lot of personal information.
