Italy to block access to ChatGPT over data protection concerns

OpenAI’s ChatGPT privacy policy states that trainers can use conversation data to improve the AI, but that it also aggregates or anonymizes that data. The company’s terms forbid use by children under 13, while the policy claims that the company does not “knowingly” gather personal info from underage users.

We have reached out to OpenAI for comment and will update this article with their response. In the meantime, Italians may need to find alternative language models as ChatGPT’s future in Italy remains uncertain.
