OpenAI is facing a class-action lawsuit in California alleging it embedded Meta's Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics in ChatGPT, resulting in users' sensitive queries and personal data being shared with Meta and Google without consent. The suit claims this violates U.S. and California privacy laws.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event explicitly involves an AI system (OpenAI's chatbot) that processes personal user data. The lawsuit alleges that the AI system's use has directly led to violations of privacy laws and unauthorized sharing of intimate personal information, constituting harm to users' rights. This meets the definition of an AI Incident because the AI system's use has directly led to a breach of obligations under applicable law protecting fundamental rights (privacy). The harm is realized, not just potential, as the lawsuit is filed based on actual data sharing practices. Hence, the classification is AI Incident.[AI generated]
