(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source:https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/04\/13\/chatgpt-spain-gdpr\/<\/a><\/br> Spain\u2019s data protection authority, the AEPD, has followed Italy\u2019s lead and announced a preliminary investigation of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI over suspected breaches of the European Union\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).<\/p>\n At the end of last month<\/a>, Italy\u2019s DPA ordered OpenAI to stop processing locals\u2019 data \u2014 over a range of suspected breaches of the GDPR \u2014 which swiftly led to OpenAI geoblocking the service in Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the time of writing ChatGPT remains accessible via a Spanish IP address. But the regulator does not appear to have issued an order that it suspend processing.<\/p>\n In a press release about its action (which we\u2019ve translated from Spanish) it writes: \u201cThe Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has initiated ex officio<\/em> preliminary investigation proceedings against the U.S. company OpenAI, owner of the ChatGPT service, for possible non-compliance with the regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n The release does not provide any details of the specific concerns the AEPD has but we\u2019ve reached out with questions.<\/p>\n Italy\u2019s DPA has raised a range of GDPR concerns over ChatGPT, including the lawfulness of OpenAI\u2019s processing, transparency issues, plus child protection and data access requirements.<\/p>\n Earlier this week it published a list of measures<\/a> OpenAI must implement if it wants the local suspension order lifted, giving it a deadline of the end of the month to make most of the changes.<\/p>\n OpenAI has not commented publicly on the changes the Italian agency has asked for.<\/p>\n An OpenAI spokeswoman declined comment on the Spanish investigation now.<\/p>\n The AEPD\u2019s press release confirms it earlier asked the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), a steering body for applying the GDPR, to include ChatGPT in a plenary discussion this week.<\/p>\n It says it made that ask considering OpenAI\u2019s \u201cglobal processing operations may have a significant impact on the rights of individuals\u201d \u2014 which it also said may require \u201charmonized and coordinated actions at European level\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Committee decided at today\u2019s plenary session to launch a task force to promote cooperation and exchange information on the actions carried out by data protection authorities,\u201d the AEPD adds.<\/p>\n The EDPB task force on ChatGPT will act in parallel to individual authority probes. But it may, ultimately, help to coordinate GDPR enforcement on the generative AI technology across the bloc. Although, in the short term, early mover DPAs like Italy and Spain could conclude their investigations and take enforcement action before the Board is in a position to offer any harmonizing recommendations.<\/p>\n One difference of approach is already in evidence: With Italy\u2019s DPA issuing a suspension order, while Spain\u2019s AEPD has only announced it\u2019s taking a preliminary look into ChatGPT at this stage. Though that could suggest Spain\u2019s probe is less advanced than Italy\u2019s.<\/p>\n In further public remarks, the AEPD said it \u201cadvocates for the development and implementation of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence\u201d. But it emphasized that such development must fully comply with the EU\u2019s data protection framework and the rights and freedoms the GDPR affords individuals.<\/p>\n For more on how regulations like the GDPR are being applied to generative AI check out our deep dive<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
