Italy has become the first Western country to block advanced chatbot ChatGPT.
It is the first known instance when a government has blocked an artificial intelligence tool.
Millions of people have used ChatGPT since it launched in November 2022.
It can answer questions using natural, human-like language and it can also mimic other writing styles, using the internet as it was in 2021 as its database.
Italy's data protection authority has accused OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, of stealing the data of its users.
With this, Italy has become the first country to ban ChatGPT over privacy concerns. Whereas in China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, OpenAI has deliberately decided to remain inaccessible.
