Problems with Artificial Intelligence tools: ChatGPT and other platforms offline
Significant operational problems were faced yesterday by the most popular Artificial Intelligence platforms worldwide, causing disruption for users. The issue directly affected Greece as well, as many professionals and students who use these tools in their daily lives were unable to access the services.
The biggest blow was dealt to OpenAI's ChatGPT, which was almost completely offline for a significant amount of time. Users attempting to log in were met with error messages, and the platform was unable to process any requests. Similar problems were reported on other well-known systems, such as Claude, Grok, and Google's Gemini.
Although the companies have not yet provided detailed information regarding the cause of the collapse, experts speculate that it was a technical error in the central servers. The simultaneous "crash" of so many services shows how dependent we have become on Artificial Intelligence technology for work and education.
The companies' technical teams worked intensively to resolve the issues. Gradually, access to the platforms began to return for users in Greece and the rest of the world, although system stability remained problematic for a short period.
This incident serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of digital services that rely on the internet. As the use of Artificial Intelligence grows rapidly, the need for more reliable infrastructure is becoming increasingly imperative to avoid similar outages in the future.
