The preventive closure of ChatGPT in Italy is unique in the West

The natural bureaucracy of privacy scores an own goal. To try to put a diplomatic patch in the hole of the questionable decision to block, as the first and still only Western country, the access of Italian users to the ChatGPT generative artificial intelligence platform, the always diligent Authority for the protection of personal data decided to illustrate on social media the actions taken by other international authorities on the same issue. It is a pity that, citing the cases of the attention paid to ChatGPT to the surveillance institutions of Canada and the USA, the Authority highlights the clear difference in the method followed, and therefore further emphasizes the critical aspects of its decision to block the service in Italy .
