OpenAI.com traffic in Italy 2023, by device

In January 2023, over 60 percent of web traffic to the Open AI website from Italy was from mobile devices. By comparison, approximately 40 percent of visitors accessed the website via desktop devices. In March 2023, the national privacy regulator banned OpenAI's main product ChatGPT - an AI-powered chatbot that can mimic human interactions - with the regulator alleging the chatbot is violating European privacy laws. In April 2023, the Italian privacy regulator reported that ChatGPT will be allowed to operate in the country if OpenAI provides information on the purpose of its data collection as well as disallows minor users from accessing the website.
