The Italian privacy regulator has ordered a ban on ChatGPT over alleged privacy violations.

[{"selector":"#anim-8d0b7700-7ea6-479d-bfd5-b64c9a8b2ca5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(119.06354%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e88bbbbd-e53d-48b0-a393-9ac234055428","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b18ad3b6-fd83-423d-8bc5-dd771c338da0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Italy’s data protection authority announced an investigation into OpenAI and blocked ChatGPT in the country.

[{"selector":"#anim-cc4c5006-7c9e-463b-8082-3d867e0ce942","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(127.71535%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b11eaefa-d09f-4816-bf03-826d40d72d15","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc9865d5-c739-49fa-877a-62431e6784af","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

However, the order is temporary until the company complies with the EU's landmark privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

[{"selector":"#anim-ce8959f7-9493-4d24-8447-748a29fb8fe5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38390%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b5377cbe-7467-4b4a-b7cd-62152e2734b9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed54f1df-7b02-4cf2-b7c4-c10687339b70","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Earlier, consumer advocacy group BEUC also called for EU and national authorities including data protection watchdogs to investigate ChatGPT.

[{"selector":"#anim-adfa8868-09f9-46cb-8076-c2d09c8ec6a1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.38795%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6f5cfaf-5e80-45e0-b061-e8914d856c83","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-69a3ccc5-da30-47ba-a3b3-9caf6a1272a3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Earlier this month, OpenAI admitted that ChatGPT suffered a data breach, exposing payment and other details of many users.

[{"selector":"#anim-47571c9f-38fc-432f-b8bd-b702176596f9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.16161%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4fbb18df-68be-4ac9-b166-06eae6882dd3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e20035f-3108-41b0-8de4-20ae57120c13","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

OpenAI has 20 days to communicate how it plans on bringing ChatGPT into compliance with EU privacy rules.

[{"selector":"#anim-cc22a2fe-eb6f-4750-bc04-dfbe1f1f5a91","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.50155%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd0bd066-a642-4ef1-b742-ecff846dae03","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee56a9c4-de2a-402b-932e-e13558b344b2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

If the US-based fails to comply with the privacy laws, it may face a penalty of up to 4 percent of its global revenue.
