Individuals are increasingly using ChatGPT for therapeutic conversations, but these interactions do not offer the same legal privacy protections as those with licensed therapists. Sam Altman emphasized the risks involved if OpenAI were required to disclose ChatGPT conversations in a legal situation. Unlike traditional counseling, there is currently no legal privilege for discussions held with AI. The necessity for improved privacy protocols for AI conversations was highlighted, especially as more users, particularly the youth, turn to ChatGPT for personal advice.
"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."
"Right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there's like legal privilege for it - there's doctor-patient confidentiality, there's legal confidentiality."
"We haven't figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT."
"There should be the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist and that should be addressed with some urgency."
