The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has raised concerns about the data privacy of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI and now owned by Microsoft. The FTC has requested a detailed report from the technology company on how it manages risks associated with AI models and safeguards consumer data. This comes after reports of leaked payment information of ChatGPT’s premium customers and complaints from privacy advocates about the algorithm generating false and misleading results.
