OpenAI, a San Francisco-based research laboratory that specializes in artificial intelligence, has been given a deadline of April 30th to modify their AI ChatGPT so it resumes operations in Italy. ChatGPT caught public attention for being able to generate essays, songs and other content. Italy's Data Protection Authority will reopen the platform if the OpenAI team provides a risk reduction and age confirmation method for users. Data collection and storage procedures are also under review.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which can generate essays, songs, exams and more from brief prompts, had been blocked in Europe due to privacy concerns. With the help of Italy's Data Protection Authority and its executive director, Pasquale Stanzione, OpenAI is working toward bringing the AI chatbot back by April 30th. Through observation, Stanzione hopes OpenAI will prove its legal basis for data collection, improve user privacy features and reduce the chances of providing misleading answers.

. Pasquale Stanzione, head of Italy's privacy watchdog, is hopeful that ChatGPT will be back in the country by April 30th following the necessary changes to adjust its operation. The Italian Data Protection Authority has blocked the AI chatbot due to data privacy concerns, becoming the first Western nation to take action. To ensure ChatGPT can go back online, OpenAI must verify user age and make them aware of their data being used to train the algorithm. OpenAI's success with ChatGPT has spurred the many other tech companies to develop AI chatbot projects.

. ChatGPT, the widely used AI-based chatbot, was recently suspended by Italian Data Protection Authority due to data privacy concerns. Hopes for a resolution are high, as adjustments to better protect user data are made by OpenAI. On April 30, ChatGPT may make its return to Italy, if approved by the DPA.

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has announced the launch of a task force to monitor ChatGPT, after Italian government's move to temporarily ban ChatGPT and German Data Protection commissioner's announcement to take similar steps. AEPD also stated they were investigating OpenAI (ChatGPT's parent company) for possible privacy violations. This task force's primary objective is to create consistent rules to protect user privacy. Microsoft-backed OpenAI has already received various measures from the Italian Data Protection Authority.
