𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲 & 𝐀𝐈 | 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐏𝐀 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 The Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali) has concluded a significant investigation into OpenAI, focusing on how personal data is processed within the ChatGPT service. This case serves as a landmark for the future of Artificial Intelligence regulation and the protection of digital rights. Key Outcomes of the Decision: - 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 The investigation uncovered several critical issues, including: Lack of #transparency regarding how users' personal data is processed. Absence of a solid #legalbasis for data processing, directly impacting the rights of millions of citizens. - 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐀𝐈 The Authority has mandated: A compulsory #awarenesscampaign: OpenAI must implement a six-month campaign to inform European users about the use of their personal data and their rights. A #financialpenalty: A fine of €15 million, emphasizing the seriousness of the violations and the need for compliance with European data protection standards. - 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩 Finally, in view of the fact that the company established its European headquarters in Ireland in the course of the preliminary investigation, the Data Protection Authority, in compliance with the so-called one stop shop mechanism, forwarded the procedural documents to the Irish Data Protection Authority (DPC), which became lead supervisory authority under the GDPR so as to continue investigating any ongoing infringements that have not been exhausted before the opening of the European headquarters.
