Class Action Alleges ChatGPT Disclosed User Queries to Meta and Google

Description

A screenshot of a numbered legal filing (lines 6-28) headed 'NATURE OF THE ACTION'. Paragraph 1 describes a class action lawsuit on behalf of all United States residents who accessed and entered queries into ChatGPT.com. Paragraph 2 notes ChatGPT answers questions on sensitive topics like finances, health, and legal issues, citing a footnote: '1% OF DATA EMPLOYEES PASTE INTO CHATGPT IS CONFIDENTIAL, Cyberhaven, February 28, 2023' with a cyberhaven.com URL, and the claim that 'The average company leaks confidential material to ChatGPT hundreds of times per week.' Paragraph 3 contains the highlighted allegation: 'Defendant disclosed information provided by consumers to Meta Platforms, Inc. ("Meta") and Google, LLC ("Google")' (together, the 'Third Parties') by incorporating technology owned by each third party into the website's code - i.e., standard third-party trackers/analytics allegedly leaking prompt data

Nothing says ‘confidential’ like emitting your existential crisis as a third-party analytics event.

  EU is a bit slower and more deliberate with these things. I expect something similar in 2-5 years

  Haven't read the lawsuit, what I get from this text is that OpenAI haven't covered their asses with Privacy notice. The only jurisdiction I know that forbids by default sharing any personal information (not only identifiable) gathered in any way is Switzerland.

  AI generated legal action against AI company? More likely than you think
@azizhakberdiev 3mo

if something confidential (aka secrets) is making it into chatgpt query I believe there's something wrong with how they are stored in the first place

Is this a real lawsuit?
