SYDNEY – An Australian mayor said he may sue OpenAI if it does not correct ChatGPT’s false claims that he had served time in prison for bribery, in what would be the first defamation lawsuit against the automated text service.
Mr Hood did work for the subsidiary, Note Printing Australia, but was the person who notified the authorities about payment of bribes to foreign officials to win currency printing contracts, and was never charged with a crime, lawyers representing him said. OpenAI, which is based in San Francisco, had not yet responded to Mr Hood’s legal letter, the lawyers said.If Mr Hood sues, it would likely be the first time a person has sued the owner of ChatGPT for claims made by the automated language product, which has become wildly popular since its launch in 2022.in February. A Microsoft spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
“He’s an elected official, his reputation is central to his role,” Mr Naughton said. Mr Hood relied on a public record of shining a light on corporate misconduct, “so it makes a difference to him if people in his community are accessing this material”.
