The FTC has launched an investigation into OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. The agency is specifically looking at any potential violations of consumer protection laws. The FTC is investigating OpenAI's "risks of harm to consumers, including reputational harm." - The agency has issued a request for information, seeking records on OpenAI's data handling and privacy practices, AI training methods, and more.
- It also's seeking more information on ChatGPT's "capacity to generate statements about real individuals that are false, misleading, or disparaging."
- OpenAI has also faced regulatory pressure internationally, with Italy's data protection authority temporarily banning ChatGPT earlier this year.
