The European Data Protection Board has taken issue with the potential privacy violations associated with ChatGPT, an American-developed chatbot service that Italy previously banned due to similar concerns. Privacy is critical when it comes to autonomous platforms like ChatGPT since any information passed can risk allowing a broader range of unscrupulous actors, such as cybercriminals gathering sensitive data from companies or governments.

The creation of a dedicated task force within the EDPB demonstrates the international interests in keeping AI users' personal and private information secure while using sites like this. It shows strategic awareness in protecting Europe's sovereignty when determining possible punitive actions before real breaches happen making its actions proactive rather than reactive.
