SALT LAKE CITY — The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is investigating the operations of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, citing concerns over how the company harvests data on consumers and whether or not false information on individuals has been shared through the inquiry-driven platform.
OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman tweeted a response Thursday after news of the FTC investigation became public, registering his chagrin that the investigation was revealed via a leaked document but pledging to cooperate with the FTC investigators. Altman readily agreed with members of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law that new regulatory frameworks were in order as AI tools in development by his company and others continue to take evolutionary leaps and bounds. He also warned that AI has the potential, as it continues to advance, to cause widespread harm.
The FTC's 20-page civil subpoena includes requests for a wide range of information including how OpenAI trains its AI engine, where information comes from and how the harvesting of copyrighted and private personal information is handled, including how the company mitigates "false, misleading or disparaging" statements about individuals.
Blumenthal also shared his concerns about AI-driven tools advancing to the point where they began widely replacing human workers, a fear shared by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who toldin a May interview that a possible future scenario could include AI-powered humanoid robots becoming more affordable than human laborers and beginning to replace blue collar workers.
The survey was conducted June 26-July 4 of 801 registered Utah voters by Dan Jones and Associates and has an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.46%.But, results from polling done in June by the Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics reveals that while the majority of Utahns may not be concerned specifically with AI advancements leading to job loss, they are more broadly worried about the potential impacts of artificial intelligence advancements.
