Italy fines OpenAI 15 million euros over privacy rules breach


Italy’s privacy watchdog said on Friday it fined ChatGPT maker OpenAI 15 million euros ($15.58 million).

The authority, known as Garante, is one of the European Union's most proactive regulators in assessing AI platform compliance with the bloc's data privacy regime. Last year the Italian watchdog briefly banned the use of ChatGPT in Italy over alleged breaches of EU privacy rules. The service was reactivated after Microsoft-backed OpenAI addressed issues concerning, among other things, the right of users to refuse consent for the use of personal data to train algorithms.
