Balancing Technology Innovation and Privacy Protection with Multinational Plans to Strengthen ChatGPT Regulation
2023-04-10
On April 3rd, German Federal Data Protection Commissioner Ulrich Kelber stated that due to concerns about data security protection, Germany may follow Italy and temporarily ban ChatGPT. He revealed that disabling the software would be within the jurisdiction of the German Federal Data Protection Agency. In addition, the German Federal Data Protection Agency has requested Italian regulatory agencies to provide more information on their efforts to block ChatGPT. Experts point out that with 100 million active users within two months of its launch, ChatGPT has become the fastest-growing consumer application in history. Although ChatGPT has performed surprisingly well in practical use, there are still disadvantages such as high costs and information leakage due to limitations such as large-scale language models and data limitations. How to balance technological innovation and privacy protection still needs continuous exploration from all parties. Recently, many countries have been following up on restrictive measures, and negative emotions such as dissatisfaction, panic, and resistance towards ChatGPT are continuing to ferment. Reuters reported that the Italian Personal Data Protection Agency (DPA) recently announced a ban on the use of ChatGPT from March 31st, restricting OpenAI from processing Italian user information data, and investigating its privacy and security issues. This move has attracted the attention of regulatory agencies and companies from multiple countries, with Germany, France, Ireland and other countries preparing to follow Italy's approach and strengthen the regulation of ChatGPT. On April 3rd, the German newspaper "Business Daily" quoted Ulrich Kelber as saying that in principle, similar shielding actions are also possible in Germany. Germany has requested further information from Italy regarding its ban. Meanwhile, according to Reuters, personal data regulators in France and Ireland have contacted their Italian counterparts to learn more about the basis of the ban. A spokesperson for the Irish Data Protection Agency (DPC) said, "We are following up with Italian regulatory agencies to understand the basis for their actions, and we will coordinate this matter with all EU data protection agencies." CBC reported on April 4th that the Canadian federal privacy regulator announced that it has launched an investigation into OpenAI, Because the company is suspected of 'collecting, using, and disclosing personal information without consent'. The report also mentioned that US President Biden and his Technology Advisory Committee also discussed the "risks and opportunities" of artificial intelligence at a meeting held on the same day. According to a report in South Korea's National Daily on April 3rd, several South Korean companies, including Samsung, SK Hynix, and POSCO, are taking measures to restrict the use of ChatGPT and strictly prevent employee leaks. Although LG Electronics has not issued a ban, it requires employees to receive training on "artificial intelligence and data usage". According to the Nikkei News Network, Japanese companies including Softbank, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi UFJ and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation have begun to restrict the use of interactive AI services such as ChatGPT in business operations due to concerns about information leakage. But Sweden's privacy regulatory agency stated that there are currently no plans to ban ChatGPT, nor are there any regulatory agencies in Italy
