AFP: EU privacy watchdog sets up ChatGPT task force

AFP: EU privacy watchdog sets up ChatGPT task force. “The European Union’s central data regulator said Thursday that it was forming a task force to help countries deal with wildly popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, ramping up the pressure on its US maker OpenAI. Italy temporarily banned the programme last month over allegations its data-gathering broke privacy laws, and France’s regulator said Thursday that it had opened a formal procedure after receiving five complaints.”
