OpenAI violated Canadian privacy laws, federal and provincial watchdogs say

Commissioners from four of Canada’s privacy watchdogs have found that OpenAI violated Canadian privacy laws while developing and training its early models of ChatGPT.

Philippe Dufresne, Canada’s privacy commissioner, was joined by his provincial counterparts from British Columbia, Alberta, and Québec to announce the findings of a joint investigation into the tech giant. The investigation examined how OpenAI sourced training data for its early, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models, which included scraped content from publicly accessible internet sources like social media and blog posts, licensed third party sources like media outlets and stock image vendors, and user interactions with ChatGPT.

Dufresne noted that all four regulators found OpenAI had violated various federal and provincial privacy laws, including the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and its provincial counterparts in Alberta, BC, and Québec.
