A U.S. court has dismissed a lawsuit against OpenAI in which a radio host claimed that ChatGPT falsely stated he had embezzled money. The reason? OpenAI’s terms of service clearly warn that AI outputs may contain errors and should be treated with caution.
The ruling implies that if an AI provider warns users about possible hallucinations, it is not liable for damages caused by false or misleading outputs. However, the situation in Europe may soon differ — the upcoming AI Act introduces stricter rules and greater accountability for AI operators.
