OpenAI head Sam Altman has admitted a shocking thing about ChatGPT.
In a podcast, OpenAI head Sam Altman warned users that there is no legal confidentiality when using ChatGPT as a therapist.
In response to the question of how artificial intelligence works with the modern legal system, Altman said that it is worrying that no legal or policy framework has yet been developed for AI, one of the reasons for which is that there is no legal guarantee that whatever users discuss with it is being kept confidential.
Altman said that just as patients go to a doctor and tell them their problems, the law assures them that the doctor will be bound to maintain their secrets, ChatGPT does not fall under any such legal restrictions.
He clarified that if a person discusses their personal, emotional or sensitive issues with this chatbot, there is no legal guarantee that this information will remain completely confidential.
Sam Altman says that users should be careful about protecting their private information when using artificial intelligence platforms like ChatGPT. He stressed that while this technology offers many conveniences, it is important to understand its limitations before using it as a substitute for professional therapy or counseling.
It should be noted that this warning has come at a time when people are increasingly using artificial intelligence tools for their mental health and emotional problems. Experts say that users should thoroughly understand ChatGPT’s privacy policy before sharing sensitive information and consult qualified experts for professional advice.
