Italy bans ChatGPT: Here are 4 other nations that outlawed AI chatbot

Italy banned ChatGPT after the National Data Protection Authority raised concerns over privacy violations. Till the necessary probe is being conducted, the AI chatbot tool will be temporarily disabled throughout the country.

The ChatGPT AI chatbot was developed by OpenAI, a US-based company, and is planned to receive a more advanced system.

The investigation on the parent company began after the authorities flagged concerns over its “mass data gathering” protocols.
The ChatGPT AI chatbot is an experimental tool that is under development and helps to provide the required information to the user base. 

As per the Italian authorities, the AI chatbot lacked some basic legal justifications for the collection and storage of personal data.
