Engagement with OpenAI and ChatGPT in Italy 2022-2023
In January 2023, ChatGPT registered over nine million interactions from users in Italy, up by over 300 percent compare to the previous month. By comparison, the OpenAI website registered 1.2 million actions performed by Italian users. At the end of March 2023, the main national privacy regulator in Italy prompted OpenAI to provide information on how and why the company collects user data, if the company wanted to avoid seeing its access to the Italian market blocked.
