⚡ Data Defenders Slam OpenAI
posted 29 Apr 2024
The non-profit European Center for Digital Rights (NOYB) has filed a complaint against the AI developer OpenAI for breaching GDPR. As it turns out, ChatGPT can still provide inaccurate information about individuals due to AI hallucinations, contravening EU legislation that mandates accuracy in personal data.
Under these laws, individuals have the right to modify or delete their information, and companies like OpenAI must transparently disclose the data sources used by ChatGPT in processing requests—a requirement currently unmet.
If a system cannot produce accurate and transparent results, it cannot be used to generate data about individuals. The technology has to follow the legal requirements, not the other way around,asserted Maartje de Graaf, a data protection lawyer.
The Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) is now expected to investigate OpenAI. If violations are confirmed, the agency will require OpenAI to enforce compliance. NOYB also advocates for regulatory fines against OpenAI to ensure adherence to the law in the future.
