Canadian Officials Claim OpenAI Violated Federal And Provincial Privacy Laws

Canadian privacy regulators found OpenAI violated federal and provincial privacy laws by using personal data for AI training without adequate safeguards or consent.

The commissioners also raised concerns about users’ ability to access, correct, and delete data, as well as the accuracy of OpenAI’s responses.

OpenAI agreed to changes, including stronger warnings, better data tools, and added protections for retired datasets.

The case could force product and policy changes for ChatGPT in Canada and set a precedent for how AI firms handle personal information.
