According to a news report, OpenAI’s artificial intelligence-powered chatbot collected data from users, which was then used to train the algorithm. An inquiry by Italy’s Data Protection Authority (DPA) found data privacy violations pertaining to collecting personal data and age protections. The regulatory body, in a statement, said the available evidence pointed to the existence of breaches of the provisions contained in the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). These are related to the mass collection of users’ data, which is then used to train the algorithm. DPA launched a “fact-finding activity” at the time, which has now found data privacy violations.
