What affects the chatGPT user conversions
The data protection authority of Italy said that they blocked the Microsoft-supported chatbot that was developed by a startup in the US. They also investigate whether this software has complied with general data protection regulations of the country or not.
A data breach is one that affects the conversions of chatGPT users. It also affects the information of subscribers when they make payments to avail of services, said to an Italian watchdog.
Why Italian authorities ban chatGPT
As we tell you, the Italian authorities ban chatGPT after an investigation. Along with it, there are many countries that also block the chatGPT, including Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
The data protection authority of Italy said that they opened an investigation against ChatGPT and Open AI (a US company). There is no way for chatGPT to proceed with data in terms of privacy laws.
Due to this, they imposed instant temporary restrictions on the processing of user data in Italy by the US company Open AI. In this way, they restrict them from managing or developing the platform. An inquiry held on facts of the case that are starting said authorities.
What do the authorities say
The Italian authority said that they determine the lack of data to users and all other parties whose information is gathered by Open AI, but above the absence of legal cases that determine mass storage and collection of personal data, to aim at algorithms that underlie the platform operation.
The authorities emphasize their order that the lack of an age verification mechanism exposes the kids to getting a response that is not right according to their age or not aware of them. But the services from Open AI are against this order. They made access to the allegedly addressed services to users below the age of 13.
How much find the authorities imposed on Open AI
The US-based company, OpenAI, is not located in the EU. They are only designated as representatives in the European economic area. The data protection authority of Italy said that open AI has to inform within 20 days after implementing this order. Else, they have to pay a fine of up to EUR 20 million or around 4 per cent of worldwide annual turnover.
Despite this order, the highlights that no details are provided to data subjects and users whose information is collected by open AI, and more importantly, it seems to be no legal basis underpinning the massive collection and process of personal data.
Conclusion
After investigation, it is confirmed by testing that chatGPT is now not available to use, as it bans by the Italian authorities.
