I signed the petition to reactivate access to ChatGPT in Italy via Change.org.
The dynamic co-evolution of technology’s progress and its regulation fulfills the needs of society in different ways in different countries. Italy constantly appears to favor a more conservative approach, staying behind and then expecting to be able to catch up. In times of jolting change, with an increasing rate of acceleration, this is an approach that has potentially radical consequences (positive or negative, depending on your expectations).
Deciding that only those Italians who have the ability to set up a VPN should learn about the new powerful tools of chatbots, and decide by themselves if and how to use them, is shortsighted. That’s why I signed the petition. (In Italian.)
