ChatGPT, a chatbot launched by OpenAI, is facing a potential ban from Italy if the company doesn’t comply with the rules required by the country’s supervisory authority. The restrictions require OpenAI to verify the users’ ages, and set up a system to filter out those who are under 13 and teens between 13 and 18 who don’t have parental consent.
OpenAI is an artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and others. OpenAI focuses on developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) that is safe and beneficial to society, and it involves many projects across robotics, natural language processing, deep learning, and more.
The Italian supervisory authority has placed a temporary limitation on the processing of Italian users’ data, however, ChatGPT can return to Italy if OpenAI complies with the rules. When OpenAI meets the requirements and sets up the system for age verification and parental consent, the Italian SA will lift the limitation and ChatGPT will be available for Italian users again.
The importance of adhering to the rules in foreign countries cannot be overstated. OpenAI must comply with the set requirements and set up the system for age verification and parental consent for ChatGPT to become available for Italian users. For companies operating in countries abroad, compliance is an important factor in ensuring the safety of users and in protecting their privacy.
