Snap AI Chatbot Suspected of Violating Teen Privacy, UK Launches Investigation
The UK Information Commissioner's Office has issued an initial enforcement notice expressing concerns about Snap's generative AI chatbot. The investigation indicates that Snap failed to adequately identify and assess the privacy risks posed by 'My AI' to children and other users, but the findings are still inconclusive. Snap has committed to collaborating with the Information Commissioner's Office to ensure its risk assessment procedures are robust, while the AI chatbot underwent legal and privacy reviews prior to release. Snap's AI chatbot operates based on OpenAI's ChatGPT and includes parental notification and anti-offensive features.
