WASHINGTON — The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating OpenAI to determine if its hugely popular ChatGPT app harms consumers by generating false information and whether its technology mishandles user data.
Microsoft-backed OpenAI was notified of the investigation in a 20-page questionnaire in which the company is asked to describe incidents in which users were falsely disparaged, and share any company efforts to ensure this does not happen again.OpenAI's release of ChatGPT last November stunned the world as it displayed the power of large language models , a form of artificial intelligence known as generative AI that can churn out human-like content in just seconds.
"We've heard about reports where people's sensitive information is showing up in response to an inquiry from somebody else," Ms Khan said. The company's GPT-4 is the bedrock technology behind its own ChatGPT as well as scores of other programs from companies that pay a fee to OpenAI to access its model for their own uses.
