It is understood that Snap's AI chatbot is powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, and the company said it has implemented a number of protections, including guided programming and parental control features. The ICO warned that developers of generative AI should consider data protection from the beginning, otherwise they may face enforcement measures such as fines.
Snap said it had conducted a risk assessment in compliance with data protection laws and would continue to monitor product launches and address new risks. British regulators pointed out that generative artificial intelligence remains a key regulatory target and provided developers with relevant regulatory guidelines.
Although there is no formal legislation, the EU has adopted a risk-based AI framework, which includes transparency obligations for AI chatbots. The ICO will announce more details of the investigation in the future.
