A law professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, has raised alarms about the dangers of AI misinformation after being falsely accused of sexual harassment by OpenAI's ChatGPT. The fabricated claims included a narrative that Turley was part of a faculty he never worked for and involved a fictitious trip to Alaska. This incident highlights the urgent need for safeguards against AI-generated misinformation, which Turley described as 'chilling.'
Turley learned of the false accusation through a colleague who queried ChatGPT for examples of sexual harassment cases involving law professors. The chatbot referenced a non-existent article from The Washington Post, further complicating the issue of accountability in AI-generated content. Turley emphasized the necessity for legislative measures to address the implications of AI on free speech and defamation.
