The ChatGPt website on a tablet, on April 14, 2023, in Madrid (Spain). The Spanish Data Protection Agency has initiated ex officio preliminary investigation proceedings against the U.S. company OpenAI, owner of the ChatGPT service, for a possible breach of regulations. The Agency requested the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) to include the ChatGPT service as an issue to be addressed at its plenary meeting, considering that "global processing operations that may have a significant impact on the rights of individuals require harmonized and coordinated actions at European level in application of the General Data Protection Regulation". With the initiation of the investigation in Spain and the participation in the European working group, the AEPD acts in parallel within the framework of its powers and competences as a national supervisory and control authority, as well as in coordination with its European counterparts through the Committee. 14 APRIL 2023;CHATGPT;DATA;DATA PROTECTION AGENCY;REGULATIONS;DATA PROTECTION Eduardo Parra / Europa Press 04/14/2023 (Europa Press via AP)
