OpenAI's ChatGPT Breaches Privacy Rules, Says Italian Watchdog - Slashdot

Jan 31, 2024 - yro.slashdot.org
Italy's data protection authority, Garante, has informed OpenAI that its AI chatbot application, ChatGPT, violates data protection rules. This follows an investigation that began last year when the service was temporarily banned for alleged breaches of EU privacy regulations. The service was reinstated after OpenAI addressed issues, including the right of users to refuse consent for the use of their personal data to train algorithms.

However, the regulator has since found potential data privacy violations and has given Microsoft-backed OpenAI 30 days to present a defense. The ongoing investigation will consider the work done by a European task force made up of national privacy watchdogs.

Key takeaways:

  • Italy's data protection authority, Garante, has informed OpenAI that its AI chatbot application, ChatGPT, breaches data protection rules.
  • Last year, Garante banned ChatGPT due to alleged breaches of EU privacy rules, but the service was reactivated after OpenAI addressed certain issues.
  • The regulator has continued its investigations and found potential data privacy violations, but did not provide further details.
  • Garante has given Microsoft-backed OpenAI 30 days to present defense arguments, and its investigation will consider work done by a European task force of national privacy watchdogs.
