The FTC has received allegations that ChatGPT has been harming consumers by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/twitter-files-6-shows-deep-state-went-deeper-than-just-fbi-twitter-collusion-2\/\" title=\"Twitter Files 6 Shows Deep State Went Deeper Than Just FBI-Twitter Collusion\">disseminating false information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, recently received a 20-page letter from the FTC, demanding extensive records related to the allegations. The letter, sent on Thursday, gave OpenAI a 14-day deadline to comply with the request. Additionally, the FTC instructed the company not to alter or destroy any documents in its possession.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Accordingly, You must suspend any routine procedures for Document destruction and take other measures to prevent the destruction of Documents in Your possession, custody, or control that are in any way relevant to this investigation,&#8221; the letter reads.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The FTC&#8217;s request for documents dates back to June 1, 2020. This investigation follows similar actions taken by the FTC against other tech giants such as Meta, Amazon, and Twitter, who have been accused of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-trade-commission-warns-of-sophisticated-dark-patterns-used-to-trick-consumers\/\" title=\"Federal Trade Commission Warns of Sophisticated \u201cDark Patterns\u201d Used to Trick Consumers\">violating consumer protection laws<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI has received multiple complaints regarding ChatGPT providing false and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/counting-down-the-worst-moments-of-the-medias-love-affair-with-michael-avenatti\/\" title=\"Counting Down The Worst Moments Of The Media\u2019s Love Affair With Michael Avenatti\">defamatory information<\/a> about individuals, including referencing non-existent news articles. As part of the investigation, the FTC is also demanding that OpenAI disclose how it addresses the issue of ChatGPT generating fabricated information when faced with questions it cannot answer.<\/p>\n<p>The primary concern of the FTC revolves around the alleged publication of potentially damaging false information about individuals. The document sent to OpenAI specifically asks about the measures being taken to mitigate the problem of disseminating false personal information.<\/p>\n<p>This investigation marks a significant regulatory step in relation to ChatGPT, as lawmakers grapple with establishing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">regulatory framework<\/a> for this emerging technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FTC probes ChatGPT for spreading false info, demanding OpenAI to provide extensive records within 14 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1971811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1971810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1971810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1971810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1971810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1971811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1971810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1971810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1971810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
