The AI defamation claims are starting, as foretold.
For all the fears about world-ending AI nightmare scenarios, the clearest problem with AI search so far is that it makes stuff up. That includes potentially libelous claims like baselessly accusing a professor of sexual misconduct or an Australian politician of bribery, two events both recounted in news stories today. The latter might lead to ChatGPT’s first defamation suit — something we’ve discussed the complications of (under US law, at least) before. Whatever happens with these incidents, it seems nearly inevitable somebody will sue over AI “hallucinations” soon.
ChatGPT sometimes makes up facts. For one law prof, it went too far.
