British Columbia’s privacy watchdog has accused OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, of failing to take sufficient action after an attacker’s account was flagged for misuse. The complaint alleges that despite multiple reports of suspicious activity, including the creation of fake accounts and the spread of harmful content, the platform did not implement adequate safeguards. Authorities say the delay allowed the attacker to continue exploiting the system, raising concerns over OpenAI’s commitment to user safety and regulatory compliance. The case highlights growing scrutiny over how major AI companies handle abuse reports and enforce their own policies.
