“What scares me most is that someone can read Ceette [histoire] And he believes his true. “This Thursday, March 20, the Norwegian Arve Hjalmar Holmen filed a complaint against Openai, after Chatgpt invented false information about him. As explained by the online life of the Privacy Association, which represents him, when he wanted to know if the chatbot had information about him, gave him a” invented horror story of Scratch. “
Chatgpt said he was a criminal who had been sentenced to 21 years in prison for the murder of two of his children and for trying to kill his third child. A story that included real information about his life, namely the number and sex of his children, but also the name of his hometown.
RGPD violation
For Noyb, this is “undoubtedly” a violation of the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), because history combines real information with false information. As the Vienna association recalls, according to article 5 of these regulations, companies must ensure that the personal data they produce in people are correct.
From this incident, OpenAi has updated its AI model. Chatgpt has also been a search engine for a few months, you can find information about people on the Internet when asked who they are. Therefore, the chatbot no longer presents Arve Hjalmar Holmen as murderer. “However, the incorrect data can still be part of the LLM data set (large language model, editor’s note),” said Noyb.
Since ChatGPT re -envces user data in the system to train, it is impossible to know if the false information regarding the plaintiff has been completely erased.
The association also recalls that this is not the first time that OpenAi chatbot has invented false information. A practice known as hallucination. In 2023, deputy Eric Bothorel, for example, filed a complaint against Chatgpt after the conversational robot generated inaccurate information about it.
In the complaint, Noyb requires in particular that the author of Norwegian data protection that imposes an administrative fine in Openai, to prevent similar violations from happening again.
