ChatGPT is back in Italy. OpenAI, the maker of the AI-powered chatbot, announced on Friday that the service is available in Italy again after the company met the demands of regulators who had temporarily blocked it over privacy concerns. OpenAI fulfilled a number of conditions that had to be met by the April 30 deadline, according to the Italian data protection authority.
OpenAI emailed a statement saying it “addressed or clarified the issues” raised by the watchdog and that the “ChatGPT is available again to our users in Italy.” In addition to updating the information available on its website regarding the collection and use of data, the company also implemented new tools for verifying user ages and giving EU citizens the option to object to the use of their personal data for training.
OpenAI, based out of San Francisco, also provided English links to webpages dedicated to satisfying the Italian regulator’s conditions. After the Italian watchdog temporarily halted operations and called on the company to make necessary changes, OpenAI responded, putting the privacy and safety of its users first.
