A Norwegian man, Arve Hjalmar Holmen, was shocked to discover that ChatGPT had falsely accused him of being a convicted child murderer. The AI mixed real personal details with fabricated allegations, creating a completely false story.

 

Holmen has filed a complaint, citing GDPR violations. Digital rights group Noyb argues that OpenAI failed to ensure data accuracy, preventing Holmen from correcting the misinformation, as required by European law.

 

OpenAI is now facing increased scrutiny in the EU. Following previous controversies—including a $16 million fine in Italy—Norwegian regulators may push for stronger safeguards to prevent AI-generated defamation.
