NOYB Files Complaint Against ChatGPT in Austria: Inaccurate Information and Privacy Concerns
A privacy group named NOYB based in Vienna, Austria, announced plans to file a complaint against OpenAI's AI tool, ChatGPT.
The group claimed that ChatGPT sometimes provides inaccurate information and invent wrong answers, which OpenAI cannot correct.
NOYB expressed concerns over the lack of transparency regarding where the data comes from and what ChatGPT stores about individuals.
OpenAI has acknowledged the issue and failed to provide a satisfactory explanation.
NOYB (None of Your Business), a European data protection advocacy group, criticized ChatGPT and OpenAI for providing inaccurate information about Max Schrems, NOYB's founder, and refusing to rectify or erase the incorrect data.
EU law mandates that personal data be accurate, and if a system cannot produce accurate results, it cannot be used for generating information about individuals.
ChatGPT repeatedly provided an incorrect birthdate for Schrems instead of acknowledging the lack of necessary data.
OpenAI refused Schrems's request to rectify or erase the incorrect data, stating it was impossible.
NOYB (None of Your Business), a European Union (EU) campaign group, accused OpenAI of violating EU law by not providing access to a user's personal data and failing to respond adequately to the request.
The group plans to report this issue to Austria's data protection authority and seek fines against OpenAI to ensure compliance with EU regulations.
OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research lab, has not responded to these allegations publicly.
NOYB has been critical of tech giants since its creation in 2018.
