ChatGPT is an AI tool that uses machine learning to give users answers to anything. However this poses serious privacy risks, from collecting and selling data without warning to exposing embarrassing private information. Italy has recently taken action to protect consumer rights and data privacy, while PrivateInternetAccess remains a staunch advocate for personal protection - but is it enough to stop powerful AI?
. OpenAI, a San Francisco-based Artificial Intelligence firm, must implement measures to comply with Italian data protection laws in response to the Italian agency, Garante's directive. The firm must be transparent in its data processing practices with an information notice and comprehensive age-based screening for minors. The directives also include providing users full control to exercise their rights concerning their personal data. OpenAI is held responsible to comply with the given deadlines or face penalties.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has set up a Task Force to develop a unified policy on artificial intelligence privacy and investigate potential data breaches by ChatGPT. This significant step towards data protection follows Italy's unilateral move to limit ChatGPT as well as Germany's data protection commissioner announcement. OpenAI, the parent organisation of ChatGPT, is being backed by Microsoft Corp. Get the scoop on this AI policy initiative and new task force.
