ChatGPT’s maker says the artificial intelligence chatbot is available again in Italy after the company met the demands of regulators who temporarily blocked it over privacy concerns. OpenAI said Friday that it fulfilled a raft of conditions that the Italian data protection authority wanted satisfied by an April 30 deadline to have the ban on the AI software lifted. San Francisco-based OpenAI says “ChatGPT is available again to our users in Italy.” The watchdog says it welcomes the measures and urged the company to comply with other demands for an age-verification system and a publicity campaign informing Italians about their right to opt out of data processing.
