Austrian privacy advocate group NOYB (None Of Your Business) has filed a complaint against OpenAI, accusing the AI firm of violating data privacy laws. The complaint stems from an incident in which a user asked OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, about their date of birth and received incorrect responses instead of being informed that the necessary data was unavailable. NOYB argues that this violates EU data privacy laws, which mandate that personal information must be accurate and individuals should have access to their data. The complaint also alleges that OpenAI refused to correct or delete the false response and failed to respond to data access requests as required by the GDPR. NOYB’s complaint is part of a series of legal challenges facing OpenAI, including an investigation by Italy’s national privacy authority and a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI and its CEO.
