"my demand regarding the ChatGPT policy is that it must be everyone's individual choice to use it. After all, it is my data that I'm putting into it, and I, as a responsible adult, am aware of the data protection issues that this technology creates. In fact, I'm so aware, I might be better informed than some of those in Brussels."
On the bright side, at least you're not in Brussels, where you might have to deal with even more EU regulations!
Does this actually have anything to do with the EU? It seems to be a decision by Italy's data protection authority. I'm not sure why you are bringing Brussels into it when there is no kind of EU-wide ban on ChatGPT.
Yes, you are right. I'm blending the issues here. But see, I'm a EU citizen living in Berlin and naturally I've come to Milan for work and vacation, expecting to use ChatGPT. And frankly, I find it unacceptable that the Italian Garante took the initiative here and outright banned it.
POLITICO reports:
> The Italian privacy regulator Friday ordered a ban on ChatGPT over alleged privacy violations.
> The national data protection authority said it will immediately block and investigate OpenAI, the U.S. company behind the popular artificial intelligence tool, from processing the data of Italian users. The order is temporary until the company respects the EU's landmark privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
