Italy now has access to the ChatGPT chatbot again.
At the beginning of April, it was prohibited due to privacy concerns by the Italian data protection authority.
Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the company that created it, claimed to have "addressed or clarified" the concerns identified.
Before registering for ChatGPT, users could now access the company's privacy policy, and a new tool was available to confirm users' ages.
The chatbot had been temporarily disabled and an investigation into the alleged breach of the AI application had been started by Garante, the Italian data protection body.
Garante had accused OpenAI of failing to verify that ChatGPT users were at least 13 years old, thus OpenAI responded by promising to provide a tool to do so in Italy at registration.
According to OpenAI, customers in the European Union will now have a new form to utilise to exercise their right to object to the company's use of their personal data for model training.
A representative for OpenAI said the company valued the Garante's cooperation and that it will keep up the positive dialogue already going on.
Since its debut in November 2022, ChatGPT has been used by millions of users.
It may imitate various writing styles and respond to queries in language that seems natural and human.
It was included to Bing last month after Microsoft invested billions in it.
