Italy’s privacy regulator has temporarily banned OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the smash-hit conversational A.I. that has over recent months impressed and concerned people in equal measure.
The Italian Data Protection Authority said Friday that ChatGPT was violating the European Union’s strict General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in multiple ways, ranging from the fact that it sometimes spews out incorrect information about people, to OpenAI's failure to tell people what it’s doing with their personal data.
