The European Union's central data regulator has formed a specialized task force to evaluate the use of chatbot technology, ChatGPT, over privacy concerns. The task force aims to provide guidance to countries like Italy and France, who have taken steps to investigate and, in some cases, prohibit the use. ChatGPT has become popular for its ability to generate conversations, essays, and even poetry from brief prompts but has come under fire for potential issues related to cheating, the spread of fake news, and displacement of human workers. The task force is led by the European Data Protection Board and joined by OpenAI, the company responsible for building ChatGPT, to ensure the best privacy protection of its users.

. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has set up a task force to strengthen cooperation on ChatGPT issues, create uniformity and provide updates to enforcement measures. Following complaints of a breach in data rules, the Italian data protection authority have banned OpenAI's ChatGPT platform. Spain's data protection agency has requested the EDPB to analyze the impact on privacy. OpenAI, founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever, is constructing a large-scale AI system to enable conversations between people and computers.

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is launching a dedicated task force to foster closer collaboration among data protection authorities and exchange of information on possible enforcement activities. This comes after the Italian data protection authority’s action on OpenAI’s chat GPT service. The task force will help ensure the right of individuals to data security and protection in the EU.

This article discusses the recent order issued by Garante, Italy's data protection agency, to halt processing of data belonging to individuals in the country against OpenAI, an American AI chatbot service. OpenAI must follow privacy regulations and procedures, provide security measures, and submit a list of data subjects to lift the restriction. OpenAI's founder and Chief Product Officer, Sam Altman, has expressed his commitment to privacy and security. Garante has promised to remain transparent in this process.

Italy becomes the first Western government to ban the popular AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT for failing to comply with GDPR, the EU's user privacy law. This ban is stirring debate with implications for innovation, privacy and ethics. Experts suggest better transparency, data protection measures and ethics reviws to ensure user rights and data are adequately covered.
