According to Foresight News, according to Decrypt, OpenAI stated that Italian users can use ChatGPT again because its new features include users being able to close their chat history and choose not to allow OpenAI to use user data in its training models. Users can see this privacy policy more clearly on the platform. At the same time, an OpenAI spokesperson said that it will continue to resolve privacy requests via email, introduce new forms for EU users to object to the use of their data in model training, and implement age verification tools for Italian users during registration.
Foresight News previously reported that on April 5, according to Canadian CTV News, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) announced on the 4th that it had begun investigating OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, because it received complaints alleging that "OpenAI collected, used and disclosed personal information without consent." Previously, the Italian Data Protection Authority temporarily disabled ChatGPT and launched an investigation into the tool.
