The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has taken decisive action in a dispute about data transfers to the US by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. At the same time, it has reviewed an Italian data protection authority's ban of OpenAI's ChatGPT and formed a task force to assist European Data Protection Authorities. This article details these developments while highlighting the importance of data protection enforcement.
Microsoft Corporation and OpenAI have been requested by the Italian data protection agency to guarantee the release of AI-powered chatbot technology, ChatGPT, meet their criteria by the end of April. Other countries such as China, Iran, North Korea and Russia have previously prohibited the use of the ChatGPT. OpenAI has promised to collaborate with the Garante in order to make the service accessible to the Italian users, while tech pioneers such as Bill Gates have praised the technology. Critics such as Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk have asked to pause AI trials, as they are more powerful than GPT-4.
OpenAI, a U.S-based firm, was mandated by the Italian Data Guardian, Garante, to halt its AI chatbot service, ChatGPT as it suspected violations of EU's GDPR. April 30 is the deadline for OpenAI to become GDPR-compliant and take necessary steps for age-verification, data-processing and enable users to delete and correct misinformation. OpenAI is a research lab headed by Sam Altman, to develop AI tech for human values.
OpenAI has responded to an Italian suspension order by blocking access to their chatbot ChatGPT and making a commitment to comply with all GDPR requirements. Aiming to further protect users' rights, they will implement changes and maintain their high privacy and security standards before the stipulated deadline.
