Snap AI chatbot investigation launched in UK over teen-privacy concerns
Publishing timestamp: 2023-10-06 20:30:16
Summary
The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has issued a preliminary enforcement notice against Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, over concerns about the privacy risks associated with its generative AI chatbot. The notice is not final, and Snap will have the opportunity to address the concerns before a final decision is made. If the findings result in an enforcement notice, Snap may have to stop offering the AI chatbot to UK users until privacy concerns are addressed. Snap says it is committed to protecting user privacy and will work with the ICO to ensure compliance.
