The Canadian Privacy Commissioner has launched an investigation into OpenAI, the company behind the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, following a complaint regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information without consent.
- This investigation follows a series of recent moves by the federal government and members of the AI research community in regulating the development and deployment of the technology.
- This comes as part of a global crackdown on the mass adoption of ChatGPT, with China banning access to it in February, and Italy’s privacy regulator ordering a ban in March. In addition, France and Ireland have reportedly reached out to Italy to learn more about the basis of the ban, and Germany may follow suit. The investigation follows last year’s Bill C-27, Canada’s first law regulating high-impact AI systems.
