The rise of AI asks a question that many are chosen: what becomes of our words once entrusted to the machine? Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, warns that conversations with Chatgpt, far from confidential, could be used as proof in court.
In short
- Conversations with Chatgpt are not confidential and could be used as judicial evidence.
- Unlike a professional, AI does not offer any legal protection for your personal information.
- Without a clear legal framework, speaking to an AI amounts to exposing your private life to any operations.
Talking to an AI is not talking to a professional
To give his thoughts to an AI is to leave a trace. As long as the law does not protect these data as professional secrets, they can turn against you.
Sam Altman himself admitted: if you discuss with the AI of your personal problems and a trial then explodes, Openai could be forced to provide this data. A position that Altman has already illustrated by his ability to publicly take his distance from the tokenized actions of Robinhood, when they threatened the image or principles of the company.
This legal flaw poses a problem all the more worrying as AI is increasingly requested for psychological, medical or financial advice.
For the moment, the legislation remains unclear. No clear framework protects users from an AI, as is the case in the patient-doctor relationship. Pending regulation, caution remains your only defense, even with trading bots.
Masked monitoring monitoring
Beyond the judicial risk, Altman raises another concern: the more AI spreads, the more the States will want to monitor its use. The argument is safe: to prevent these technologies from being diverted for malicious purposes. But the price to pay is an ever more fragile privacy. And don't forget that What you say to Chatgpt could one day turn against you.
According to Altman, a compromise will have to be found between individual freedom and collective security. He says he is ready to sacrifice part of confidentiality in the name of safety. A point that says a lot about the direction that the big tech companies take.
To entrust your thoughts to an EVI in full evolution is to leave a trace. And as long as the law does not protect this data as professional secrets, this trace can one day turn against you.
