In response to the collection of sensitive data without proper individual permissions, OpenAI has received a warning from the Japanese privacy watchdog, the Personal Information Protection Commission.
The commission issued a statement advising the Microsoft-backed startup, responsible for developing ChatGPT, to minimize the amount of sensitive data it collects for machine learning purposes. It further emphasized that if additional concerns arise, the commission may take further action against OpenAI.
This development follows the formation of an intergovernmental forum named the “Hiroshima AI process” during the recent G7 meeting held in Japan. As generative AI raises concerns among global regulators, the European Union Parliament has opted for stricter regulations, categorizing technologies like ChatGPT as high-risk and demanding greater transparency from their developers in their AI Act. Additionally, President Biden in the United States has expressed apprehensions regarding the rapid adoption of AI.
In April, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to announce plans for expanding services in Japan, preceding the G7 leaders’ summit where Kishida led discussions on AI regulation.
