Italy fined OpenAI millions of euros for data leak

The Italian Data Protection Authority (DPA) has fined the American company OpenAI €15 million for a data leak involving user information. This was reported by the regulator's press service.

According to the agency's information, OpenAI processed customers' personal data to train AI models in violation of transparency principles and related information obligations. In March 2023, a data leak occurred, which the startup did not report.

The DPA noted OpenAI did not implement age verification mechanisms, which may lead to minors under the age of 13 receiving responses that are not appropriate for their level of development and self-awareness.

Earlier, it became known that investors filed a lawsuit against the HAWK token team, accusing them of selling unregistered securities
