Europe’s data watchdog, Wojciech Wiewiórowski, predicts a sour predicament for United States-based artificial intelligence (AI) companies currently being investigated for alleged General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) violations.
During a recent interview, Wiewiórowski told the MIT Technology Review that the fast pace of development in the AI space means data protection regulators should be prepared for another scandal, invoking the Cambridge Analytica situation for reference.
Wiewiórowski’s comments come after a tumultuous week for leading AI outfit OpenAI, creator of the massively popular GPT suite of products and services. The company’s suite of GPT services has been outright banned in Italy pending further information about its intent and ability to comply with GDPR, with similar actions pending in Ireland, France and Germany.
According to the European Union data watchdog, OpenAI currently finds itself between a European rock and a U.S. hard place, legally speaking. As regulators in the EU look to crack down, U.S. lawmakers could be eyeing the European prescription as a possible local template. Said Wiewiórowski in the MIT Technology Review interview:
“The European approach is connected with the purpose for which you use the data. So when you change the purpose for which the data is used, and especially if you do it against the information that you provide people with, you are in breach of law.”
Under this premise, for example, OpenAI could find itself unable to deploy and operate models such as GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 due to how they are designed and trained. GDPR law requires that citizens in the EU be given the ability to opt out of data collect
