noyb files GDPR complaints (C078, C097) over AI-generated inaccurate personal data

O que aconteceu

The privacy NGO noyb has lodged two complaints (C078 and C097) with Data Protection Authorities alleging that ChatGPT generated false personal data, including an incorrect date of birth and a fabricated criminal narrative. The complaints argue that OpenAI cannot adequately correct or erase the inaccurate outputs, testing GDPR obligations on accuracy, rectification and erasure. The cases remain pending as of the publication date.
