First ever defamation lawsuit against OpenAI may be filed by Australian mayor Brian Hood after the ChatGPT app wrongly implicated him in a bribery and corruption scandal
Regional mayor from Melbourne area says he may sue OpenAI if it does not correct ChatGPT's false claims that he served time in prison for bribery — a crime he actually blew the whistle on.
Brian Hood sent a legal notice to parent company OpenAI last month after its web app wrongly implicated him in a bribery and corruption scandal - a crime he actually blew the whistle on. "I was horrified; I was stunned at first that it was so incorrect," Hood told Australia's national broadcaster."It's one thing to get something a little bit wrong; it's entirely something else to be accusing someone of being a criminal and having served jail time when the truth was the exact opposite," he said.
Hood said he had yet to receive a response from OpenAI after his lawyers issued a legal notice on March 21 demanding a fix to avoid court action.
