A agency announced “the start of the investigation in Spain” to ChatGPT in a statement in which it reveals that last week it asked the European Data Protection Committee to include this service from the company OpenAI as one of the topics to be discussed at the next plenary meeting of the body.
The EDPS justified the request to the European data protection authority “because he considers that global procedures that can have a significant impact on the rights of individuals require harmonized and coordinated actions at European level”, within the framework of the application of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (EU).
The plenary of the European Data Protection Board met today and decided to proceed with a working group on this topic, in which the EDPS says he will participate, having however decided to start an investigation in Spain, in parallel.
“The agency defends the development and availability of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence with full respect for current legislation, as it considers that only from this starting point can technological development compatible with the rights and freedoms of people be achieved. “, reads the statement released by the AEPD.
In early April, the data protection authority in Italy decided to suspend ChatGPT until it realized whether the technology violates users’ privacy.
