\n

During an interaction with Podcaster Theo Von, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman<\/a> spoke about confidentiality related to ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to Altman, many people, especially youngsters, talk to ChatGPT about very personal issues, like a therapist or life coach. They ask for help with relationships and life choices. However, that can be tricky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRight now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there’s legal privilege for it. There’s doctor-patient confidentiality, there’s legal confidentiality,\u201d Altman says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, right now, no such legal privacy exists for ChatGPT. If there\u2019s a court case, OpenAI might have to share \u201cyour most sensitive\u201d chats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nevertheless, Altman feels this is wrong. He believes conversations with AI should have the same privacy as talks with a therapist. A year ago, no one thought about this. Now, it\u2019s a big legal question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe should have the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cNo one had to think about that even a year ago,\u201d the OpenAI<\/a> CEO adds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Von then says he feels unsure about using AI because he worries about who might see his personal information. He thinks things are moving too fast without proper checks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sam Altman agrees. He believes the privacy issue needs urgent attention. Lawmakers also agree, but it\u2019s all very new and laws haven\u2019t caught up yet, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Von doesn\u2019t \u201ctalk to\u201d ChatGPT much himself because there\u2019s no legal clarity about privacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI think it makes sense,\u201d Altman replies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The interest in \u201cChatGPT\u201d on Google India was sky-high during July 24-25:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ChatGPT as a therapist<\/h2>\n

There are numerous cases reported about people using ChatGPT as their therapist. A recent incident involves Aparna Devyal, a YouTuber from Jammu & Kashmir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The social media Influencer got emotional after missing a flight. It came from years of feeling \u201cworthless\u201d. She spoke to ChatGPT about being called \u201cnalayak\u201d at school and struggling with dyslexia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ChatGPT comforted her, saying she kept going despite everything. Aparna felt seen. According to the AI chatbot, Aparna is not a fool, just human. Forgetting things under stress is normal, the AI assistant said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ChatGPT praised her strength in asking for help and said people like her kept the world grounded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
