The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, in a recent appearance on the This Past Weekend podcast hosted by Theo Von, addressed the growing use of AI chatbots like ChatGPT for therapy by younger users. Atlman warned users, noting that the AI platform's conversations are not legally protected and do not carry the same legal protections as conversations with licensed professionals.
"People talk about the most personal s**t in their lives to ChatGPT. Young people, especially, use it as a therapist or life coach....But right now, if you talk to a therapist or doctor about those problems, there's confidentiality. We haven't figured that out yet for AI."
He also added that user data may be vulnerable,
"If you got talk to ChatGPT about your most sensitive stuff and then there's a lawsuit or whatever, we could be required to produce that - and I think that's very screwed up."
After social media got a wind of Sam Altman's interview, people took to TheShadeRoom's comment section to express their views,
Sam Altman discusses ChatGPT's privacy concerns
While discussing the growing use of ChatGPT for personal conversations during a recent appearance on This Past Week, Sam Altman noted that conversations with the AI platform are not legally protected.
Altman stressed the need for privacy on AI platforms and noted that "the concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist" and that it should be "addressed with some urgency."
Conversations on social media platforms such as WhatsApp or Signal are encrypted, unlike ChatGPT, where OpenAI can read conversations between users and the platform. The company notes that the staff uses user conversations to fine-tune the AI model and monitor for misuse.
As per OpenAI's data retention policies, chats deleted on Free, Plus, and Pro models are permanently deleted within 30 days, unless the company is required to conserve them for "legal or security reasons."
Sam Altman's warning comes after The New York Times and other news plaintiffs filed a court order against OpenAI in June.
