The Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner released the results of an investigation into the use of ChatGPT by a Child Protection worker (CPW), who used it to wrote a Protection Application Report that was submitted to the Children's Court regarding a "young child whose parents had been charged in relation to sexual offences". They were able to detect it was written by ChatGPT because "parts of the report included personal information that was not accurate", saying that a doll used by the father for "sexual purposes" was actually an "age appropriate toy" for the child, "downplaying the severity of the actual or potential harm to the child, with the potential to impact decisions about the child's care". After an internal review the discovered this CPW used ChatGPT in 100 cases. The Commissioner now wants Victoria's Department of Families, Fairness and Housing banned and blocked from using all generative AI tools.
