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.
Google is an American tech giant, providing internet-related services, operating systems, and products since 2003. Recently, the US Department of Justice accused Google of monopolizing the search market and argued that the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT technology was potentially delayed due to this. The Justice Department highlighted that Google's default search engine contracts with Apple and smartphone providers could be limiting the competition. John Schmidtlein, Google's lawyer, opposed this idea. Judge Amit Mehta is expected to decide on the antitrust cases against Google this summer.
