Privacy concerns being raised over Snapchat's AI feature.

MyAI was introduced in April, allowing users to talk back and forth and essentially use a version of ChatGPT within the app.

The feature could be banned in the UK as the Information Comissioner's Office there alleges the company may have failed to properly asses privacy risks.

Technology Correspondent Jess Kelly says the worry is younger people are being influenced by it:

"This is built by open AI the company behind ChatGPT."

"They say that it's designed to allow you to come up with ideas for birthday parties or you can ask your questions you can interact with it."

However Jess says the Information Commissioner's Office in UK "has alleged or is investigating if snap has failed to be fully transparent and fully assess the privacy risks associated with the data of children who may be using it."
