Various countries around the world, including Italy, the United States, Spain, and Germany, are paying close attention to AI-related developments. Among them, Italy at one point banned (for now only temporarily) OpenAI from operating within Italy, with the relevant regulators arguing that ChatGPT and its parent company OpenAI violated some of the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation.
These include the lack of any age verification mechanism that could allow children to receive answers that are absolutely inappropriate for their age and consciousness, despite OpenAI's claim that its service is aimed at users over the age of 13.
In the U.S., several AI companies agreed to submit their products for review in August, and the government also promised to issue draft guidelines to ensure that the use of AI safeguards "the rights and safety of the American people.
Last week, Vice President Harris also said in a meeting with the CEOs of Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and startup Anthropic that AI has the potential to dramatically increase threats to safety and security, violate civil rights and privacy, and erode public trust and confidence in democracy.
According to Harris, companies have a responsibility to comply with existing laws, as well as ethical, moral and legal responsibilities to ensure the safety and security of their products.
