OpenAI Faces Privacy Probe in Poland over ChatGPT Chatbot
According to UODO, the unidentified complaint stated that OpenAI did not update inaccurate information on them that ChatGPT had created. "Because the case involves a violation of many provisions on personal data protection, we will ask Open AI to answer several questions," stated Jan Nowak, President of Poland's Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).
According to the report, a Polish authority is looking into Microsoft-backed OpenAI over an allegation that its ChatGPT chatbot violates European Union data protection regulations known as the GDPR.
In San Francisco federal court, OpenAI is already facing at least its second-class action complaint for allegedly violating privacy regulations. When the complaint was first published earlier this month, it did not reply to demands for comment.
"Because the case involves a violation of many provisions on personal data protection, we will ask Open AI to answer several questions," stated Jan Nowak, President of Poland's Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).
According to UODO, the unidentified complaint stated that OpenAI did not update inaccurate information on them that ChatGPT had created.
The complaint stated that they were unable to determine which of their data was being handled by the firm and received evasive and misleading responses to queries.
An emailed request for comment from OpenAI was not immediately returned.
In addition to privacy litigation, tech firms like Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Stability AI have recently been sued for "scraping" copyrighted items and personal data from around the internet to train their generative AI systems.
Earlier this year, OpenAI's ChatGPT became the fastest-growing consumer application in history, exceeding 100 million active users only two months after its introduction. Microsoft has made billions of dollars in investments in the corporation.
