FTC is investigating ChatGPT creator OpenAI over possible consumer harm through its data collection and the publication of false information.
FTC sent a 20-page letter to the company this week. The letter requests documents related to developing and training its large language models, as well as data security, reported by The Washington Post.
The FTC wants to get detailed information on how OpenAI vets information used in training for its models and how it prevents false claims from being shown to ChatGPT users. It also wants to learn more about how APIs connect to its systems and how data is protected when accessed by third parties.
