Examining Alternative AI Platforms

After temporarily banning OpenAI's ChatGPT in March, the Italian Data Protection Authority announced its plans to examine further AI platforms and applications. The report states that the agency will add three AI specialists to its personnel who have legal training. Agostino Ghiglia, a Garante Board member, said that if more investigations are required when the evaluation is over, they will be opened. "We want to know if these new tools are addressing issues linked to data protection and privacy laws compliance," he said. "We plan to launch a wide-scope review of generative and machine learning AI applications which are available online."

Ghiglia stated that the board has 144 employees and is composed of legal professionals, significantly fewer than its EU counterparts in France, Spain, and Britain. Garante is regarded as one of the 31 national data protection authorities in charge of enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation that is most proactive. According to Silicon, this is also the first agency to have banned the AI chatbot developer Replika in February, fined the creator of the facial recognition program Clearview AI, and placed limitations on TikTok in Europe.

Additionally, a number of AI-powered products are developing swiftly, which is why the agency became aware that ChatGPT did not adhere to EU data privacy laws.
