ChatGPT is again available to users in Italy, after being temporarily banned by the country’s data privacy authority for possible violations of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Italy’s Guarantor for the Protection of Personal Data announced the reinstatement of ChatGPT Friday, after Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the creator of the generative AI service, made changes requested by the government body.
At the end of March, the Guarantor ordered OpenAI to stop processing ChatGPT data in Italy, effectively causing the service to shut down in the country. On April 11, the data privacy agency notified OpenAI of specific changes it would have to make in order to offer ChatGPT in Italy.
