not even OpenAI can stop it,\u201d the group said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The company has openly acknowledged it cannot correct inaccurate information produced by its generative AI tool and has failed to explain where the data comes from and what ChatGPT stores about individuals, said the group.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Such errors are unacceptable for information about individuals because EU law stipulates that personal data must be accurate, NOYB argued.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a system cannot produce accurate and transparent results, it cannot be used to generate data about individuals,\u201d said Maartje de Graaf, data-protection lawyer at NOYB.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe technology has to follow the legal requirements, not the other way around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT \u201crepeatedly provided incorrect information\u201d about the birth date of NOYB founder Max Schrems \u201cinstead of telling users that it doesn\u2019t have the necessary data\u201d, said the group.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>OpenAI refused Schrems\u2019s request to rectify or erase the data despite it being incorrect, saying it was impossible, NOYB added.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It also \u201cfailed to adequately respond\u201d to his request to access his personal data, again in violation of EU law, said NOYB, and the firm \u201cseems to not even pretend that it can comply\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The campaign group, which has emerged as a fierce critic of tech giants since its creation in 2018, said it was asking Austria\u2019s data protection authority to investigate and fine OpenAI to bring it in line with EU law.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bursting onto the scene in November 2022, ChatGPT sparked a frenzy among tech users dazzled by its ability to reel off dissertations, poems or translations in mere seconds.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But criticism of the technology has since prompted legal action in some countries.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Italy temporarily blocked the programme in March 2023, while France\u2019s regulatory authority began an investigation after a series of complaints.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Vienna: A
