ICO issues preliminary enforcement notice over AI chatbot's privacy risks

The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office issued a preliminary enforcement notice against Snap that could require the technology company to stop processing data connected with its artificial intelligence chatbot, "My AI." The ICO said, "This means not offering the 'My AI' product to UK users pending Snap carrying out an adequate risk assessment." A provisional ICO investigation found a risk assessment conducted prior to My AI's launch did not "adequately assess" its data protection risks, particularly to children.
