Copilot AI calls journalist a child abuser, MS tries to launder responsibility

Martin Bernklau, a German journalist, was erroneously labeled by Microsoft's Copilot AI on Bing as a child abuser and criminal, based on crimes he reported. Despite clarification from the Tübingen Public Prosecutor’s Office that no offense occurred, Copilot's defamatory suggestions returned after Microsoft's initial filtering. Bernklau is now suing Microsoft.

• Copilot AI mistakenly associated Martin Bernklau with crimes he reported on.
• Bing's AI suggested Bernklau committed child abuse and other crimes.
• No actual person made these false allegations.
• Microsoft briefly filtered, then allowed the libelous information back.
• Bernklau is suing Microsoft for defamation and privacy invasion.
