The Italian authority imposed a 'temporary limitation of the processing of Italian user data' by OpenAI and said it had launched an investigation.
The country's Data Protection Authority said US firm OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, had no legal basis to justify"the mass collection and storage of personal data for the purpose of 'training' the algorithms underlying the operation of the platform".
Universities and some education authorities have banned the chatbot over fears that students could use it to write essays or cheat in exams. "We also believe that AI regulation is necessary - so we look forward to working closely with and educating them on how our systems are built and used," the spokesperson said.
It said wrong answers given by the chatbot suggested data was not being handled properly, and accused the firm of exposing children to"absolutely unsuitable answers".
