TechCrunch reports Italy's data protection authority, the Garante, removed its limited block of OpenAI's ChatGPT after the company rectified alleged data protection issues. The regulator ordered limits on the popular generative artificial intelligence tool's data collection 31 March and gave OpenAI a 30 April compliance deadline over EU General Data Protection Regulation allegations concerning legal bases for processing data and children's data protection. It's unclear how the data processing claims were addressed, but OpenAI recently added an age verification and parental consent process.
