European Data Protection Board sets up ChatGPT Task Force for Privacy, Security, and Jobs
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has taken a stand to set up a task force on ChatGPT, a highly popular consumer application with over 100 million active users each month. The aim of the task force is to address potential threats to safety, privacy, and jobs. The move is to also create transparency in enforcement actions conducted by data protection authorities.
ChatGPT and other AI technologies
The ChatGPT Task Force on AI technologies is established to safeguard privacy, security, and jobs. The task force will work towards creating general policies that are transparent. Over the years, Italy has taken unilateral action to curb ChatGPT, and Spain’s AEPD watchdog has launched a preliminary investigation into potential data breaches by ChatGPT. The EDPB is in support of creating a common policy that sets privacy rules on artificial intelligence. Several European governments and experts have also expressed concern about the rapid growth of the adoption of ChatGPT and similar AI products.
