According to an informed source of the facts cited by the Sun 24 Hours, ChatGpt returns to Italy no more doubts. In these days, OpenAI, the company responsible for the chatbot, has indeed agreed to comply with European privacy legislation and to fulfill the requests of the Italian Privacy Guarantor. Here are all the details of the deal.
ChatGPT returns to Italy: the commitments made by OpenAI
The first sign of this came last week, when OpenAI allowed all users to exclude their conversations from algorithm training.
However, the Italian Guarantor has requested further measures, such as the possibility for interested parties, even non-users, to request the rectification of personal data generated inaccurately by the service or the cancellation of the same. Furthermore, OpenAI will have to allow interested non-users to exercise the right to object to the processing of their personal data.
OpenAI will also have to run an advertising campaign to inform everyone, even non-users, of the possibility of being excluded from the chatbot. An exemplary case of erroneous information was that of an Australian mayor who, according to ChatGpt, had been convicted of corruption, which was false which led to a request for exclusion from the system.
ChatGPT will have to implement an age verification system
With regard to the age verification of minors, the Guarantor has ordered OpenAI to implement an age verification system by 30 September 2023, capable of excluding access to users under the age of thirteen and minors not authorized by their parents.
And that's not all: OpenAI will have to draw up and make available on its website atransparent information, which illustrates the methods and logic behind the processing of data necessary for the functioning of ChatGpt and the rights attributed to users and non-user interested parties.
Finally, the Guarantor requested that consent or legitimate interest be identified as a prerequisite for using the personal data used for training the algorithms, eliminating any reference to the execution of a contract. This very delicate issue also attracted the attention of the German privacy authorities, who asked OpenAI for information.
