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 San Francisco-based artificial intelligence (AI) research lab, closed its ChatGPT service in Italy two weeks ago. Now, the Italian data protection authority has issued a list of requests for the service to be reopened. Users must know the methods behind ChatGPT’s data processing, be able to request the deletion of inaccurate personal data, and comply with age verification measures. The move has sparked other European privacy authorities to explore ways to regulate chatbot usage. Founded by tech industry figures like Sam Altman, OpenAI remains at the forefront of AI research and application.
Elon Musk and other experts call for a pause in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, while researchers experiment with AI agents in virtual worlds and Salesforce takes steps to improve profits. Discover how the debate between Musk's beliefs and Twitter's current path will shape our future.
