OpenAI is possibly facing the world’s first ever defamation lawsuit over its ChatGPT generated content. The company is facing the lawsuit by an Australian Mayor after seeing false information on the popular AI based chat bot. So here are all the details.
A regional Australian mayor stated that he is considering suing OpenAI, the company behind the massively popular platform, it it fails to correct ChatGPT’s false claims. For those unaware, the platform has falsely claimed that the Australian mayor had served time in prison for bribery. If he follows through with the lawsuit, then the company will face the first ever defamation lawsuit against the AI chat bot.
The mayor in question is Brian Hood, who was elected in Hepburn Shire last November. However, he became concerned with his online reputation when it was revealed to him that ChatGPT had falsely included his name as a part of the guilty party in a foreign bribery scandal involving a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Australia back in the early 2000s. During this time, Hood did work for the subsidiary but was actually the person who notified authorities about the said bribes and never faced any criminal charges himself.
OpenAI has yet to respond to this news or reply to Hood’s legal letter. But if the mayor follows through with the lawsuit, he will be the first person that has sued the owner of ChatGPT for claims against its language based AI platform. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
