[Social Media]

Italy's data protection watchdog on Friday issued an immediate ban on access to OpenAI's popular artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT, citing alleged privacy violations.

 

In a statement, the Italian National Authority for Personal Data Protection said that ChatGPT had "suffered a data breach on March 20 concerning users' conversations and payment information of subscribers to the paid service".

The decision, which comes into "immediate effect," will result in "the temporary limitation of the processing of Italian users' data vis-à-vis [ChatGPT's creator] OpenAI," the watchdog said.

Can't help but think both the left and the right in politics are paying as much as possible to have the first Ai putting out their view points. If Ai ever gets a political viewpoint that could well be trouble

If people still want to use ChatGPT, they could use a VPN I guess..

Ban? ????
