Sam Altman warns there’s no legal confidentiality when using ChatGPT as a therapist

SMRTR summary

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns that ChatGPT conversations lack legal confidentiality, unlike those with human therapists or doctors. This privacy gap could expose users' sensitive information in legal situations, as OpenAI would be required to produce chat logs if requested. Altman advocates for establishing AI conversation privacy protections similar to doctor-patient confidentiality, recognizing the potential impact on user adoption and data privacy concerns.
