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.

OpenAI, the parent organisation of ChatGPT, is being backed by Microsoft Corp. Get the scoop on this AI policy initiative and new task force.
OpenAI recently disproved the rumors of their advanced GPT-5 language model. At an MIT event, Sam Altman, the CEO and co-founder, emphasized the importance of AI safety and the FutureofLife initiative, created by fellow co-founder Elon Musk. OpenAI is taking precautions such as bug bounty programs, to ensure the reliability and safety of their AI models. Governments are, however, staying cautious in their regulations – Italy has already ordered the banning of the chatbot, and the U.S Treasury Dept. calls for caution. OpenAI is all for safe and secure AI model and remains committed to its regulations.
OpenAI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research lab, is battling to make AI for the Common Good. Led by CEO Sam Altman and CTO Greg Brockman, the non-profit has initiated debates worldwide, calling for regulators and industry players to ensure the safety of consumers. With OpenAI's moves to release powerful GPT-4 models, the Center for AI and Digital Policy has taken action, filing a complaint to the FTC to regulate the industry.
The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has initiated investigations against Open-AI, parent company of ChatGPT, regarding a possible breach of data protection regulations. Other countries such as France, Germany, Italy, the United States, and China have also expressed intent to pass laws to regulate this new technology. AEPD is pushing the European Data Protection Committee to discuss the issue and form a working group. Open-AI seeks to find the balance between its AI-based works and privacy regulations.
Microsoft has taken the lead in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with ChatGPT, overtaking Google who have been careful in adopting AI technologies. Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's AI language models into Bing search engine and Edge browser, allowing the Redmond-based giant to take the lead. Google's response was the introduction of chatbot, Bard, based on Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). It has triggered suspections that Google had been overly cautious in getting their tech ready, while their rival Microsoft had pushed on. Details have emerged on Google's efforts to prevent harm from AI, with reports of employees reviewing the company's AI products and reducing the potential risks for launch. Microsoft, however, has been mum about ethical and security issues, keeping a minimum size executive team and canning employees who raised a concern. The goal for Microsoft is to lead the AI competition - something which is clear from an email seen by The New York Times, delivered by the giants technology executive, Sam Schillace.
