OpenAI and Microsoft Face $3B Lawsuit for Privacy Violations with ChatGPT

Microsoft and OpenAI are facing a $3 billion lawsuit filed by sixteen individuals who claim that the companies' AI products, including ChatGPT, collected and disclosed their personal information without proper consent. The complaint alleges that the companies obtained data without paying for it and scraped 300 billion words from the internet, including personal information obtained without consent. The lawsuit seeks class-action certification and damages for violations of privacy laws, including the Electronic Privacy Communications Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Microsoft and OpenAI have declined to comment on the matter.
