ChatGPT Therapy Sessions May Not Stay Private in Lawsuits, Says Altman


ChatGPT users laying it all out on the couch could see their chatbot therapy sessions uncovered if OpenAI were hit with a lawsuit, says Sam Altman.

"So if you go talk to ChatGPT about your most sensitive stuff and then there's like a lawsuit or whatever, we could be required to produce that, and I think that's very screwed up," Altman told podcaster Theo Von in an episode that aired Wednesday. Unlike conversations on encrypted messaging services like WhatsApp or Signal, it is possible for OpenAI to read chats between users and ChatGPT. In June, The New York Times and other news plaintiffs filed a court order against OpenAI seeking that it retain all ChatGPT user logs, including deleted chats, indefinitely.
