The European Data Protection Board said on Thursday that it had created a task force to look into ChatGPT, the popular chatbot created by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)-backed OpenAI.
In a statement, the EDPB said the task force is designed to "foster cooperation and to exchange information on possible enforcement actions conducted by data protection authorities."
"The EDPB members discussed the recent enforcement action undertaken by the Italian data protection authority against Open AI about the Chat GPT service," the EDPB added.
The move comes after ChatGPT was temporarily banned in Italy over privacy concerns.
OpenAI is in the process of working with Italy's Data Protection Authority to fix the agency's concerns after it discovered that OpenAI had not checked the age of users and its personal data storage operations.
Germany and Spain have also recently said they could potentially curb the use of ChatGPT in their respective countries, citing data privacy concerns. 
OpenAI and its chatbot ChatGPT have taken the world by storm as it makes advancements in the world of generative artificial intelligence.
The moves come after OpenAI disabled ChatGPT's history feature last month after some users reported seeing other usersâ conversations.
