Is there also strict action against chatbots in Switzerland?

Last week, Italy banned the AI ​​application ChatGPT for lack of data protection.

The Italian data protection authority has taken firm action. Last week she took action on the ChatGPT service, which is based on artificial intelligence (AI). The reason: lack of data protection. The offer is blocked. Now international pressure is growing on the company OpenAI, which developed the chatbot.

After a ban in Italy, an investigation is also underway in Canada – due to a complaint about the use of private data. Even US President Joe Biden (80) calls for AI products to be made safer. The German authorities are also concerned.

The Swiss authority is in contact with Italy

ChatGPT creates texts using artificial intelligence. Users can specify individual commands or sentences, which the system independently supplements with billions of texts from the Internet. Critics counter that it’s unclear where ChatGPT and other similar companies get their data from and how they handle it.

Italy’s decision is of interest to Federal Data Protection Officer Adrian Lobsiger (63). According to their own statements, the Data Protection Officer (Edöb) is in contact with the Italian Data Protection Authority to obtain more detailed information about the blocking decision.

Wait and watch

But that’s about it. In Switzerland, people want to wait – and observe. The Federal Data Protection Authority (Edöb) writes this in a statement this week. So far, Edöb has only advised users to check for what purposes they are being processed before entering text or uploading images.

“As the Edöb ChatGPT has not yet investigated the facts as part of a factual clarification, it does not comment on the data protection compliance of this application,” he writes.

New technologies entail privacy risks

People recognize the opportunities of AI-supported applications. However, the processing of personal data using “these new technologies also involves risks to privacy,” the data protection officer writes.

Companies that want to use AI-enabled applications must ensure that data protection requirements are met. This includes, for example, transparent information for users about which data is processed and used in what way. (Okay)
