The Italian data protection authority has notified OpenAI that it has found the company in breach of its data protection and privacy laws.
The Italian data protection authority (IDA) released a statement on Jan. 29 stating that OpenAI is in breach of its data protection and privacy laws.
According to the statement, after the IDA’s “fact-finding activity,” it has found that OpenAI’s popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT does not adhere to provisions contained in the European Union GDPR.
The “fact-finding” probe was initially launched in November 2023 in an effort to investigate online AI data scraping. It has invited OpenAI to submit any counterclaims regarding the allegations of breaches within 30 days of the notice.
