Polish DPO investigates OpenAI over ChatGPT false data and lack of transparency
The Polish data protection authority (UODO) is investigating a complaint against OpenAI concerning ChatGPT. The complainant alleges that ChatGPT generated false information about him, and that OpenAI failed to correct it or disclose what data it holds, violating GDPR principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency. The complainant also claims OpenAI did not fulfil its information obligations under Article 12 and Article 5(1)(a) GDPR. UODO has stated it will examine the systemic compliance of OpenAI's data processing with European data protection law.
