ChatGPT’s ‘hallucination’ problem hit with another privacy complaint in EU


OpenAI is facing another privacy complaint in the European Union. This one, which has been filed by privacy rights nonprofit noyb on behalf of an OpenAI is facing another privacy complaint in the European Union that targets the inability of its AI chatbot ChatGPT to correct misinformation it generates about individuals.

Rather more importantly for a resource-rich giant like OpenAI: Data protection regulators can order changes to how information is processed, so GDPR enforcement could reshape how generative AI tools are able to operate in the EU. Now noyb is filing the latest GDPR complaint against ChatGPT with the Austrian data protection authority on behalf of an unnamed complainant who found the AI chatbot produced an incorrect birth date for them. Last September, the local data protection authority opened an investigation of ChatGPT following the complaint by a privacy and security researcher who also found he was unable to have incorrect information about him corrected by OpenAI.
