The Italian went so far as to organize that this chat, the best known of the emerging artificial intelligence, capable of simulating human conversations, suffered a loss of data on its users and the payment data of its subscribers on March 20.

In its provision, the Italian guarantor highlights “the lack of information to users and all interested parties of those who collect OpenAI data” but “above all the absence of a legal basis that justifies the collection and conservation of personal data”.

In addition, he alleges, the information generated by ChatGPT “does not always correspond” to reality.

Finally, Italy regrets “the absence of any type of filter” in the verification of the age of its users, despite the fact that the service is aimed at people over 13 years of age.
