The Italian SA imposed an immediate temporary limitation on the processing of Italian users’ data by OpenAI, the US-based company developing and managing the platform. An inquiry into the facts of the case was initiated as well,” the stated on its website.

The Italian watchdog said that OpenAI has to notify within 20 days the measures implemented to comply with the order. Otherwise, a fine of up to 20 million euros or 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover may be imposed.
