Even OpenAI's CEO Says Be Careful What You Share With ChatGPT
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 25 – OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns ChatGPT therapy chats lack legal confidentiality and may be disclosed in lawsuits, with user logs sought indefinitely by plaintiffs, raising privacy concerns.
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned that therapy-like ChatGPT conversations lack legal privilege, and `we could be required to produce that`, raising privacy concerns in lawsuits.
- Recently, ChatGPT has become a stand-in therapist for many users, Sam Altman said, and more AI users treating chatbots like therapists or lawyers creates a serious privacy concern.
- According to company guidelines, deleted chats on ChatGPT are permanently deleted within 30 days unless legally requested, as The New York Times and other news plaintiffs filed a court order to retain logs indefinitely.
- This could expose users to legal discovery, Altman said, because OpenAI would be legally required to produce those conversations today.
- In the near future, policymakers will debate AI confidentiality standards, as Altman warned that the lack of policy leaves AI chats unprotected, highlighting the urgent need for legal safeguards.
