The Bug Bounty Program went live yesterday following the announcement, and just days after ChatGPT was banned in Italy for a suspected breach of privacy rules. Italy's data protection agency has set an end-April deadline for OpenAI to meet its demands on data protection and privacy before its ChatGPT chatbot service can resume service in the country. It also follows an open letter signed by the likes of Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, asking for a six-month pause on giant AI experiments.
