Italy has banned ChatGPT, could this be a sign of things to come?

True

They stopped the chatbot, not APIs. I see huge marketing there to sell chatbots.

AI is awesome, ChatGPT is also a good product but every innovation needs serious regulations. Each ecosystem checks the situations. There should be an alternative worst scenario against the unexpected results.

Scary😳

I’m Italian, and things are getting out of hand. It was done for precaution, because APPARENTLY ChatGPT was storing more data than they should, and that would be against GDPR. The amount they should have to pay if confirmed (4% of their annual revenue, or 20M€) is the standard for GDPR violation But apparently the person in charge who took this decision also signed the open letter that was asking to pause AI development (the one signed by Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and many others) So people are saying that ChatGPT was stopped not because of privacy, but because of fear Fun fact, you can still use OpenAI products. People started using VPNs to access ChatGPT I run it locally on my Mac using a local software, connected to the OpenAI API Another fun fact is that I have a single account to access OpenAI services (ChatGPT, dev dashboard, Dall-E), so I can assume they use SSO. If that is the case, why am I able to log in my dev dashboard, and not ChatGPT? If the problem is data retention, it should be escalated to the whole infrastructure, while in the end only ChatGPT was affected (which is “just a SaaS” if we are considering the OpenAI ecosystem) We’ll see, but the way this is being managed is ridiculous 😂

It is getting terrifyingly interesting.

Italy banned Starbucks for years, not suprised

That just means more bandwidth for the free world.

Governments might come up with some regulations around AI, since there's a fear of job loss.

it's a sign, that new times are coming and Ai is becoming a par of our life
