The FTC is investigating whether OpenAI’s ChatGPT artificial-intelligence system has harmed individuals by publishing false information about them.
- The investigation cites a 2020 incident in which the company disclosed a bug that allowed users to see information about other users’ chats and some payment-related information.
The FTC probe represents a potential legal threat for the popular app, which gained wide popularity after it was released late last year for its ability to generate human-like outputs of text in response to prompts.
