OpenAI is reportedly planning to present measures to Italian authorities today (April 6) to address concerns that led to its ChatGPT chatbot being banned in Italy last week.。

Last Friday (March 31), the Italian Government Data Protection Agency (Garante) issued a statement saying that it would ban the use of OpenAI's AI chatbot ChatGPT in Italy.。The agency said ChatGPT was unable to identify user ages and lacked a legal basis to justify the collection and storage of large amounts of personal data to train chatbots.。

After the announcement, OpenAI stopped access to it by users in the Italian region.。

It's worth noting that this isn't the first time the Government Data Protection Agency has killed an AI chatbot company.。In February, the agency also banned the use of personal data of Italian users by the AI chatbot company Replika, citing "the risk that the act may pose to minors and emotionally vulnerable people."。"

In a video conference on Wednesday night local time, OpenAI promised that it would be more transparent in user data processing and user age authentication in the future.。The company also said it would submit documents to authorities on Thursday in response to its recent inquiries and concerns.。OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also attended the meeting.。

Italy's government data protection agency says authorities will evaluate documents submitted by OpenAI。The agency also said it had no intention of halting the development of artificial intelligence, but reiterated that it wanted the company to respect existing rules and regulations that protect the personal data of Italian and European citizens.。

Italy's OpenAI ban is also a wake-up call to other privacy regulators in Europe, who are also studying the need for strict measures against chatbots and the coordination of measures.。
