First complaints in France against ChatGPT

Two complaints were filed Tuesday, April 4, with the National Commission for Computing and Freedoms (Cnil) against the conversational robot ChatGPT, already targeted by various procedures in other countries. One was filed by Zoé Vilain, president of the association for raising awareness of digital issues Janus International, and targets the absence of “general conditions of use” to accept and “any privacy policy”. The other comes from developer David Libeau, who says he spotted some personal, sometimes false, information about him.

The Council of State does not impose measures on the identification of police officers

The Council of State refused Wednesday, April 5 to impose on the Ministry of the Interior to enforce the obligation made to the police and gendarmes to wear their individual identification number, says RIO, in intervention. This obligation, in force since 2014, would not be respected by many civil servants, preventing their identification in the event of slippage, according to human rights organizations heard on April 3 at the Council of State. The instruction showed that the wearing of the RIO had “not been respected on different occasions”, “in particular during operations to maintain order”, but did not make it possible to determine “the extent” of the phenomenon, considered marginal by Place Beauvau.
