Italy becomes the first Western country to ban ChatGPT, the popular artificial intelligence chatbot from U.S. startup OpenAI.
In the midst of an investigation into a possible violation of Europe's stringent privacy laws, the Italian Data Protection Watchdog told OpenAI last week to temporarily stop processing the data of Italian users.
The regulator, also known as Garante, gave the example of an OpenAI data breach that enabled users to see the titles of conversations that other users were having with the chatbot.
Not just Italy is considering how quickly AI is developing and what this implies for society.
Other governments are working on their own AI regulations that, whether or not they mention generative AI specifically, surely make reference to it. A group of AI technologies known as "generative AI" create new material in response to user input. It is more sophisticated than previous versions of AI, in large part due to new large language models that are taught on an immense quantity of data.
