Deepl translation: (why does deepl not attract the same attention btw)
In a letter, the Personal Data Authority asked the maker of ChatGPT, OpenAI, for clarification on how it uses personal data to train the underlying language model.
The regulator is concerned about how companies such as OpenAI handle such, sensitive data.
The privacy watchdog also wants to know if the questions people ask OpenAI's chatbot are also used to further train the system.
The authority says it also has concerns about the information the system shares. That may be "inaccurate, outdated, inaccurate, inappropriate, offensive, or objectionable," according to the AP, and may take on a life of its own. "Whether and if so how OpenAI can rectify or delete that data is unclear," the authority states.
Follow-up steps unclear
Earlier, the Italian privacy watchdog attracted much attention with a temporary blockade of ChatGPT that lasted about a month. A spokesman for the Personal Data Authority does not want to say anything about possible follow-up steps, but says that nothing has been ruled out. In other words, not even a ban.
OpenAI has not yet responded to the letter; the deadline is June 23. The Personal Data Authority says more actions will follow. What those are is unclear.
According to the watchdog, 1.5 million people in the Netherlands have already used the chatbot in the first four months of the year.
