That might be an individual Italian law, or atleast something besides GDPR. GDPR has no such mandate.

This ban has nothing to do with AI as a technology, and nothing to do with AI at all. This is a temporary ban because openAI, as a company, does not handle users private data (the data it collects from users who are using chatgpt, not the AI training data) in a GDPR compliant way.

They also broke GDPR in regards to informing users what personal data of theirs was impacted in a security breach that openAI had recently.

While Italy is more aggressive in chasing down GDPR violations than most other EU countries, openAI should get their data handling into compliance, because the current product they sell (and by product, I once again am not talking about the AI model itself, but the chatgpt platform through which registered users can use it), is technically breaking the law EU-wide.
