ChatGPT: lessons learned from Italy's temporary ban of the AI chatbot

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, April 20, 2023

The Italian data protection authority, Garante, cited concerns over the protection of personal data when making this decision.

Key Points: 
  • The Italian data protection authority, Garante, cited concerns over the protection of personal data when making this decision.
  • It has given OpenAI, the California-based company that created ChatGPT, until the end of April to comply with its demands.
  • News about the temporary ban spread across the world, raising concerns about the consequences of decisions like this on the development of new artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

Data processing

    • Garante briefly justified its measures by underlining the lack of information available to users, and data subjects, about the data processed by OpenAI.
    • It also cited the large-scale processing of personal data to train generative systems such as ChatGPT.
    • Compliance would involve OpenAI implementing safeguards including the provision of a privacy policy, offering users the possibility of exercising individual rights over data protection, and providing information about the company’s legal basis for processing personal data.

Harmonised framework

    • First, more European coordination is needed around the general issue of AI technology.
    • The EU’s proposed AI Act is only one step towards a harmonised framework for ensuring the development of AI technologies that are aligned with European values.

Planning, not banning

    • On the question of proportionality, a general ban does not seem to strike a balance between the conflicting constitutional interests at stake.
    • This course of action could have anticipated the implementation of further safeguards to comply with data protection.

The best ways to protect children

    • Finally, the decision raises questions about the best ways to protect children from any harmful content created by these applications.
    • Even if one argues that the decision tends towards protecting fundamental rights, primarily in data protection and safeguards for children, it leads to more uncertainty.
