It was revealed last week that OpenAI was addressing the issues that prompted an Italian ban on the chatbot. stated Garante. After Italy’s data protection agency Garante last week temporarily restricted it and opened an investigation into a possible violation of privacy laws, Microsoft-backed OpenAI took ChatGPT offline in that country.

Last week, the agency charged OpenAI with failing to verify the legal age of ChatGPT users and with “failing to provide any legal justification for the extensive collection and storage of personal data.”

It stated on Thursday that it has no plans to halt the advancement of AI but reemphasized the significance of abiding by the laws designed to safeguard the personal information of Italian and European citizens.

OpenAI promised to be more open about how it handles user data and confirms the user’s age in a late-night video conference on Wednesday that CEO Sam Altman was present for, Garante said.

On Thursday, the company said it would send Garante a document outlining the steps it would take in response to its requests.

The Italian ban has piqued the interest of other European privacy regulators, who are investigating whether harsher measures are required for chatbots and whether such actions should be coordinated.
