Italy blocks ChatGPT over data privacy failings FMTNews FMTBusiness
ROME: Italy said yesterday it was temporarily blocking ChatGPT over data privacy concerns, becoming the first western country to take such action against the popular artificial intelligence chatbot.
But critics have long fretted that it was unclear where ChatGPT and its competitors got their data or how they processed it. The letter was prompted by OpenAI’s release earlier this month of GPT-4, a more powerful version of its chatbot, with even less transparency about its data sources.“We are committed to protecting people’s privacy and we believe we comply with … privacy laws. We actively work to reduce personal data in training our AI systems like ChatGPT because we want our AI to learn about the world, not about private individuals,” an OpenAI spokesman said.
The Italian authority imposed a “temporary limitation of the processing of Italian user data” by OpenAI and said it had launched an investigation. The watchdog further referenced a data breach on March 20 where user conversations and payment information were compromised – a problem the firm blamed on a bug.
