According to PANews, OpenAI has responded to a lawsuit filed by the New York Times, which demands the indefinite retention of all ChatGPT user chat records and API client content. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman criticized the lawsuit, stating that it significantly deviates from the company's commitment to user privacy. Altman emphasized that OpenAI has filed an appeal and will firmly oppose any demands that compromise user privacy.
The affected users include non-enterprise ChatGPT users and API users who have not signed a 'zero data retention' agreement. OpenAI has assured that the data will be encrypted and accessible only to the legal team.
