You must now be 18 years old to use ChatGPT. Only children over the age of 13 with parental consent can also chat with the AI chatbot. These new rules were unveiled on Wednesday by the OpenAI company, origin of the software.
Two complaints in France
This age limit comes about when Italy blocked ChatGPT on March 31. In less than a week, the European country has managed to break OpenAI, as pointed out by Pierre-Carl Langlais (known under the pseudonym Alexander Doria on Twitter), Opsci’s research director.
Another aspect highlighted by Italy during its blockade, the non-compliance with the legislation on personal data. In France, two complaints have been filed with the Cnil, the French personal data police.
In particular, ChatGPT is criticized for not asking for the agreement of “general conditions of use” or “any privacy policy”, explains Zoé Vilain, lawyer and president of the Janus International awareness association on digital issues.
The second complaint refers to the recovery of private information. Developer David Libeau detected personal data about him by querying ChatGPT. This point seems to have a consensus around the world. Canada has opened an investigation into OpenAI for using and sharing private data without prior consent.
