Here is a translation and summary of the Order (written by chat-gpt)
The European Parliament and Council regulation (EU) 2016/679, along with the Code regarding the protection of personal data (Legislative Decree 30 June 2003, n. 196), have raised concerns regarding the ChatGPT service provided by OpenAI L.L.C. The concerns include:
Lack of information provided to users and data subjects whose data have been collected and processed by the ChatGPT service.
Absence of an appropriate legal basis for the collection of personal data and their processing for the purpose of training the algorithms.
Incorrect processing of personal data, resulting in ChatGPT providing inaccurate information.
Absence of age verification for users, potentially exposing children under 13 to unsuitable content.
The processing of personal data is considered in violation of Articles 5, 6, 8, 13, and 25 of the Regulation. As a result, the Guarantor orders a provisional limitation on processing personal data of users within Italian territory, effective immediately upon receipt of the order. OpenAI L.L.C. is invited to communicate the measures taken to implement the provisions within 20 days and provide any useful elements to justify the violations. Failure to comply may result in criminal penalties and administrative sanctions. An opposition can be lodged against this measure within 30 days from the date of communication.
