Chatgpt privacy: If you feel relieved by telling AI tools like chatgpt to your mind, then this news can make you think. Openai’s CEO Sam Altman recently revealed in a podcast that the conversation with Chatgpt is not legally confidential.

Altman said that many people, especially the youth, are using Chatgpt like therapist or life coach. They ask for opinion from the problems of relationships to personal conflicts, but this conversation is not considered private. If such a case comes in the court, Openai may have to present these records.

People are considering Chatgpt as therapist

Openai’s CEO Sam Altman said in a YouTube podcast named Past Weekend, "People share the most personal things of their life with Chatgpt. Especially the youth use it as a therapist or life coach. They say this relationship problem is going on with me, what should I do? But when you talk to the therapist, doctor or lawyer, there is legal privacy. It has not been decided yet with Chatgpt. “

Altman further said that in this situation, if a legal case is made, Openai may have to show the user’s conversation in the court, because there is no ‘legal privilege’ on the things done with the chatgpt.

Big concern about secrecy

Altman described this situation as a matter of concern for secrecy and said, "I think it’s quite wrong. The conversation with your AI should also get the same confidentiality that is with the doctor or therapist. And until a year ago, no one had even thought about it."
