New Jersey Issues Draft Privacy Regulations: The New

Odia Kagan of Fox Rothschild writes:

New Jersey recently released draft privacy regulations, and there is a lot to unpack and process. In this three-part series, I will break down the regulations
Part 1: The New
Personal data:
  • Scraping is carved out of “publicly available data” and constitutes personal data.
  • Sale: Sharing with affiliates is not completely carved out. It doesn’t apply (i.e.. still a sale) if done to circumvent any obligations in the regs.
Scope of laws:
  • Carve out of applicability (aka “nothing herein shall prevent controller…”): You are bound by all obligations if your internal research includes sharing identified data with a third party not for one of the reasons in the carve out. You must get affirmative consent if your internal research uses the data to train AI.
Violations:
  • Under the regs, not providing a notice at or before the processing makes it a violation to collect the data (this is similar to the GDPR separate violations of Art 12-14 (need to provide notice) and the more serious Art 5 (violation of transparency).
Required (new) paperwork for showing data minimization to reflect:
  • Necessity of the data for each purpose.
  • Data inventory with type, where stored and who has access.
  • Retention.
  • Deletion and ensuring processor deletes.
  • Assess whether biometric identifiers are necessary (once a year)
  • Delete data after consent is revoked.
  • Written information security plan

People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"

As we reported earlier this month, many ChatGPT users are developing all-consuming obsessions with the chatbot, spiraling into severe mental health crises characterized by paranoia, delusions, and breaks with reality.

Her husband, she said, had no prior history of mania, delusion, or psychosis. He'd turned to ChatGPT about 12 weeks ago for assistance with a permaculture and construction project; soon, after engaging the bot in probing philosophical chats, he became engulfed in messianic delusions, proclaiming that he had somehow brought forth a sentient AI, and that with it he had "broken" math and physics, embarking on a grandiose mission to save the world. His gentle personality faded as his obsession deepened, and his behavior became so erratic that he was let go from his job. He stopped sleeping and rapidly lost weight.
