Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Xiao Zhan cut, Snailwang clue delivery! On April 14, the European data Protection Committee (EDPB) said on Thursday that it had set up a ChatGPT task force, which could be an important step towards a general policy on artificial intelligence privacy rules in Europe.

Before EDPB set up a task force, Italy had already taken action last month to restrict ChatGPT. The German data protection commissioner also said it might impose restrictions on ChatGPT. The Spanish data Protection Agency (AEPD) said on Thursday that it would launch a preliminary investigation into possible data breaches caused by ChatGPT.

Since its launch in November last year, ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chat robot, has attracted a lot of attention for its ability to quickly respond to users' questions with generative answers, making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history, with the number of monthly active users quickly exceeding 100 million. At the same time, people began to question the possibility that ChatGPT could threaten security, privacy and employment.

Industry experts, the US government and many European governments have also expressed concern about the rapid popularity of artificial intelligence products such as ChatGPT.

"EDPB members discussed the recent enforcement actions taken by the Italian data protection agency against OpenAI for ChatGPT services," EDPB said in a statement on Thursday. EDPB decided to set up a task force to strengthen cooperation among regulators and exchange information on possible enforcement actions taken by data protection agencies. "

A source from a government regulator said EU member states wanted to adjust their policies, but that would take time.

Sources said that the purpose of EU member states is not to punish the OpenAI or formulate rules that can affect OpenAI, but to introduce a "transparent" general policy.

The participants in Thursday's meeting included policy experts in artificial intelligence, and there were no policy makers, who put forward and exchanged views, these people said.

It is reported that the EDPB is an independent body, mainly responsible for monitoring EU-wide data protection rules, composed of European national data protection regulators.

Earlier this week, Spain submitted an application to discuss the ChatGPT issue, and EDPB put it on the agenda.
