The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has taken a monumental step towards establishing a unified policy on privacy regulations concerning artificial intelligence (AI) products. To ensure universal enforcement and cooperation in this mission, the EDPB has created a task force that is dedicated to reviewing ChatGPT and similar AI technologies. This action follows Italy’s recent independent effort from last month to address and regulate ChatGPT and AI products. The goal of the EDPB is to create transparent general policies and regulations for AI, not for the purpose of punishing OpenAI, which is a company that is backed by Microsoft Corp. The EDPB is an autonomous European Union body, led by national data protection watchdogs, that oversees data protection regulations. The task force came about due to a request from Spain earlier this week. During the meeting, policy specialists presented their insights and exchanged ideas.
