ChatGPT had wrongly declared that the mayor had served time in prison for bribery.
Brian Hood, the mayor of Australia's Hepburn Shire, plans to sue OpenAI's owner if the company does not retract the ChatGPT's inaccurate statements, according to a report by"It would potentially be a landmark moment in the sense that it's applying this defamation law to a new area of artificial intelligence and publication in the I.T. space," James Naughton, a lawyer at Hood's law company Gordon Legal, told Reuters.
In an early 2000s foreign bribery case involving a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Australia, ChatGPT wrongly declared that Hood had served time in prison for bribery. In Australia, the maximum amount of damages that can be awarded for defamation is typically A$400,000 .The precise number of people who have accessed the bogus information about Hood is unknown to Hood. Naughton claims that because of the seriousness of the defamatory assertions, he may be able to recover more than A$200,000 .
