Unprecedented legal battles are testing if parent companies of tools like ChatGPT can be liable for defamation when innocent people are incorrectly described as criminals.
German journalist Martin Bernklau made a shocking discovery earlier this year when he typed his name into Microsoft 's AI tool, Copilot . Microsoft 's AI tool also described him as an escapee from a psychiatric institution, a con-man who preyed on widowers, a drug dealer and a violent criminal.The tool had conflated Bernklau's news reporting with his personal experience and it presented him as the perpetrator of the crimes he'd reported on.
In the meantime, he says his name is now completely blocked and unsearchable on Copilot, as well as other AI tools such as ChatGPT. He launched legal action against OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, which he later dropped because of the enormous cost involved. Mr Walters' legal case is now up and running, and Dr Thorne is very interested to see how it plays out — and what liability OpenAI is found to have.
