USA has opened an investigation into Chat GPT and the company that created the product Open AIto which they have sent an official request for information to determine whether it has harmed consumers in the construction of their language models, according to what The Washington Post.
The requirement of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) seeks to settle whether the popular tool has put the data or protection of users at risk whose information has been used to feed the language model that allows you to answer the questions of those who access the application.
In this line, one of the points on which the FTC investigations are focused is on the misleading or incorrect content that the chat can generate and the possible implications for the reputation of the people affected.
USA It is not the first government that has focused on the company, since other countries have also considered the legality of the use of data by this type of company. In fact, her own Spanish Data Protection Agency announced that it had initiated “previous investigative actions against the American company OpenAI”.
These types of companies require large amounts of data to get their models to know how to process human language and articulate the answers that users ask for. Until now, these entities have captured data at their fingertips regardless of ownership or registration thereofwhich, once they have become widely adopted technology, has aroused the misgivings of groups such as the media, artists or authors, who claim a payment for the use of its contents to generate business.
