ChatGPT: US congress has introduced restrictions over use of OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT by staff of the legislature. Guidelines and rules have been laid down regarding use of Chatbot by the staff members.

The staffers would no longer be use the chatbot for completing regular work. This has been done to prevent copy pasting of sensitive data. The notice read “For example, do not paste into the chatbot any blocks of text that have not already been made public.” Staffers have also been instructed not copy/paste data that has not already been made public.

Italy was the first country to ban ChatGPT over concerns of large scale data collection. Lack of guidelines over use by minors also prompted Italian Data Protection Authority to ban the service.
