On June 29 this year, OpenAI opened the world's first international office in London, England. Together with the opening of an office in Berlin this time, it shows that OpenAI is focusing on the European market to seek more growth opportunities. At the same time, Europe has a strong interest in generative AI. There has been a turnaround in terms of supervision and scenario-based implementation.
In addition, OpenAI also provides technical support and guidance to Irish youth aged 16-21 through Patch (a non-profit incubator) to help them realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said Ireland combines its talented talent pool with a commitment to innovation and responsible business growth. We are very excited about our expansion in Europe and this collaboration.
As early as March this year, the Italian privacy regulator ordered a ban on the use of ChatGPT due to alleged privacy violations and failure to filter the system for minors. OpenAI must communicate with regulators within 20 days to take effective protective measures, otherwise it will face a fine of up to 20 million euros or 4% of global annual turnover.
The European Consumer Organization (BEUC) also called on the EU to investigate ChatGPT and similar chatbots. Although the EU is introducing an AI management bill, BEUC is worried that it may take several years for the bill to take effect. During this time, consumers may be exposed to risks and harms from unregulated technology.
A security and privacy researcher has filed a complaint with Poland's data protection agency, arguing that OpenAI violated the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including lack of transparency, data access, lawful basis, fairness and privacy by design. wait.
During that time, many countries in the EU continued to impose heavy blows on ChatGPT, implementing a comprehensive blockade and the most stringent supervision. But OpenAI has not given up on the European market, because this is a battleground for global technology companies.

OpenAI hopes to ease relations with Europe by opening offices, increase interaction and communication, and help establish a safe, reliable, and stable ChatGPT service.
