Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens pigeon for delivering the clues of Yong Zhi! Beijing, April 13 (Xinhua) the Italian data protection agency listed a series of requirements to the artificial intelligence research laboratory OpenAI on Wednesday to address its concerns about ChatGPT. After meeting these requirements, ChatGPT will be allowed to resume use in Italy.

About two weeks ago, OpenAI took ChatGPT offline in Italy. The move comes after the Italian data Protection Agency (Garante) temporarily restricted ChatGPT's handling of personal data and launched an investigation into alleged privacy violations. Italy is the first Western European country to restrict ChatGPT, but the rapid development of the chat tool has attracted the attention of lawmakers and regulators in several countries. Many experts say new regulations are needed to regulate artificial intelligence, given its potential impact on national security, employment and education.

In a statement on Wednesday, Garante set out a series of "specific" requirements for OpenAI to meet by the end of this month. "only in this case... the authorities will suspend temporary restrictions on the use of Italian user data... ChatGPT will be open again in Italy." Garante said.

The agency said OpenAI was asked to inform Italian users of the "methods and logic" behind the data needed for ChatGPT to run. It also requires OpenAI to provide tools so that people involved in the data, including non-users, can ask to correct inaccurate personal data generated by the service, or delete it if it cannot be corrected.

Garante said OpenAI should also allow non-users to object to processing their personal data to run their algorithms "in an easy way". It also requires the company to launch an age verification system by the end of September that excludes access from users under the age of 13.

Garante said it would continue to investigate possible violations of data protection rules by OpenAI and reserves the right to take any other necessary measures at the end of the ongoing investigation.

Italy's action against ChatGPT has attracted the attention of other European privacy regulators, who are studying the need for tougher measures against chatbots and the need for coordination. The Spanish data protection agency has asked EU privacy regulators to assess privacy issues surrounding ChatGPT. In February, Italian regulators banned Replika, an artificial intelligence chat robot company, from using Italian users' personal data on the grounds that it was at risk to minors and emotionally vulnerable people.
