Regulators in Italy issued a temporary ban on ChatGPT Friday, effective immediately, due to privacy concerns
Italy’s data protection agency said users lacked information about the collection of their data and that a breach at ChatGPT had been reported on March 20. “There appears to be no legal basis underpinning the massive collection and processing of personal data in order to ‘train’ the algorithms on which the platform relies,” the agency said. The Italian regulator also expressed concerns over the lack of age verification for ChatGPT users.
Since its public release four months ago, ChatGPT has become a global phenomenon, amassing millions of users impressed with its ability to craft convincing written content, including academic essays, business plans and short stories. But concerns have also emerged about its rapid spread and what large-scale uptake could mean for society, putting pressure on regulators around the world to act.
