BERLIN : Germany could follow in Italy's footsteps by blocking ChatGPT over data security concerns, the German commissioner for data protection told the Handelsblatt newspaper in comments published on Monday.
"In principle, such action is also possible in Germany," Ulrich Kelber said, adding that this would fall under state jurisdiction. He did not, however, outline any such plans. "We are following up with the Italian regulator to understand the basis for their action and we will coordinate with all EU data protection authorities in relation to this matter," said a spokesperson for Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner .While the Irish DPC is the lead EU regulator for many global technology giants under the bloc's"one stop shop" data regime, it is not the lead regulator for OpenAI, which has no offices in the EU.
The Italian investigation into OpenAI was launched after a cyber security breach last week led to people being shown excerpts of other users' ChatGPT conversations and their financial information.
