Impact Evaluation on the European Privacy Laws governing generative-AI models -- Evidence in Relation between Internet Censorship and the Ban of ChatGPT in Italy

Abstract: We proceed an impact evaluation on the European Privacy Laws governing generative-AI models, especially, focusing on the effects of the Ban of ChatGPT in Italy. We investigate on the causal relationship between Internet Censorship Data and the Ban of ChatGPT in Italy during the period from March 27, 2023 to April 11, 2023. We analyze the relation based on the hidden Markov model with Poisson emissions. We find out that the HTTP Invalid Requests, which decreased during those period, can be explained with seven-state model. Our findings shows the apparent inability for the users in the internet accesses as a result of EU regulations on the generative-AI.
