ChatGPT released by Microsoft owned OpenAI has been slapped with a temporary ban by Italy government agencies due to data security concerns. Now, on Monday i.e. on April 3rd of the year 2023, Germany Commissioner for data protection told Handelsblatt that it may also follow the footsteps of its neighboring nation and might impose a ban on the usage of the AI driven conversational chat bot until, a thorough investigation is launched on how the AI application is using information for analysis to produce results.
Currently, Germany has sorted the inputs from the government of Italy on ban impose and the evidence behind the ban move.
France and Ireland are also planning to contact the Italian data watchdog to share and discuss their findings on how the chat bot use could raise data security concerns.
Ireland’s Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) has given its staff members a fortnight’s time frame to study and analyze the findings, after which it could also impose a ban on the use of OpenAI product/s.
Sweden has, however, issued a press statement saying it has no plan to ban the much trending ChatGPT, nor is intending to contact the Italian watchdog for its apprehensions over the usage of the said conversational chat technology.
NOTE- According to the European data laws, online services should deploy an automated software mechanism to identify and block those who are below the age of 13 from using the service. Since Microsoft ChatGPT doesn’t opt for such checks, Italy happens to be the first western country to impose a temporary ban on the AI Chatbot that recently reached 100 million monthly active users mark, since its commercial release in November 2022. The move was made after the Italian government was questioned by some elected representatives about the accuracy of info that surfaced last month. Leaking chat titles and payment related info (billing first and last names, last 4 digits of credit cards, the card expiration date and billing addresses) on the screens of some users that weren’t related to the respected leaked accounts in any way.
