OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Warns: ChatGPT Conversations Lack Legal Protection
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has sounded a serious privacy alarm, cautioning users that conversations with ChatGPT don’t enjoy the same confidentiality as those with therapists, doctors, or lawyers.
Speaking on a recent podcast, Altman revealed that many users turn to the AI chatbot to share intimate thoughts, seek advice, or even look for emotional support. However, unlike professional human interactions, these exchanges are not legally privileged. This means that if required, OpenAI could be compelled to release chat records in court proceedings.
Altman stressed the urgent need for legal frameworks and safeguards that would protect AI-driven conversations, making them more secure and comparable to traditional confidential relationships. Until then, users are urged to remain mindful of what they share with ChatGPT.
