Chat-GPT: faces 2-million-euro penalty, is this the end?

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common in our society. However, the use of AI algorithms may have repercussions for users' privacy. For this reason, the Privacy Guarantor is taking steps to ensure that the use of AI algorithms complies with privacy regulations.

Specifically, the Privacy Guarantor is focusing on the need to ensure the reliability of the use of AI algorithms and respect for users’ privacy. The Guarantor is examining machine learning procedures used in data processing, seeking to ensure that data is handled responsibly and ethically. The DPA is also examining the necessity of making AI algorithms more transparent and understandable.

It is important to provide that individuals can control how their data is used and that it is possible to exercise their rights regarding the protection of their sensitive information. The Supervisor is also examining the necessity to introduce appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access to collected and used by AI systems data.

It is relevant to ensure that data remain safe and are not misused. In general, therefore, hard work has been done to ensure that the use of AI algorithms complies with privacy regulations and that data is handled in a secure manner. This is an important step toward creating a healthier and fairer environment in which the rush to harm users’ privacy is loosened and finally defeated.

Following a protracted investigation against OpelAi, Chat GPT blocked the service in Italy and the Guarantor is assessing the extent of the injury. For this reason, due to the processing of citizens’ data obtained without the consent of the data subjects, the temporary blocking of the processing was requested. The penalty would amount to about 20 million euros, or 4 percent of annual billings. OpenAi has less than three weeks to counter the allegations made. It's now up to all the other algorithms in the same situation.
