Italy's data protection agency has imposed a fine of 15 million euros on OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, after an investigation revealed that the company processed personal data without proper legal grounds. The agency found that OpenAI violated transparency principles and failed to implement an adequate age verification system to protect children from inappropriate content. This fine follows a previous temporary ban on ChatGPT in Italy due to similar privacy concerns.
OpenAI has labeled the fine as 'disproportionate' and plans to appeal the decision, arguing that it undermines Italy's ambitions in AI development. The Italian regulator, known as Garante, has been proactive in enforcing compliance with EU data privacy regulations, which could lead to even larger fines if companies do not cooperate. OpenAI is also required to conduct a media campaign to educate the public about its data practices.
