Should we sue AI chatbot firms for spreading fake information about us? — One Singaporean says, yes, we should!

As reported in The Straits Times, Singaporean Peh Chwee Hoe sure does think so, as he brought attention to a significant issue concerning the accountability of AI chatbot firms in spreading misinformation.

His stance raises questions about the responsibility of these companies and the potential consequences of their actions.reported by Osmond Chia. Mr Chia discovered that when he asked Meta AI’s chatbot about himself, it returned inaccurate information, linking his name to criminal charges he had reported on.Imagine an employer being fed erroneous information linking a potential hire to unsavoury matters which have nothing to do with him other than, say, sharing the same name or as a result of the AI algorithm’s confusion.”The core concern is the lack of accountability in such cases.

Mr Peh noted that while affected individuals have the option to pursue legal action against the responsible tech firms, many may not be aware of the false information circulating about them.I don’t see how it is fair to let these tech companies get away with reputational murder,” Mr Peh adds.The onus shouldn’t be on people to have to google their name to ensure the tech bots haven’t maligned them.
