OpenAI is retaining all ChatGPT logs βindefinitely.β Hereβs whoβs affected.
Late Thursday, OpenAI confronted user panic over a sweeping court order requiring widespread chat log retentionβincluding users' deleted chatsβafter moving to appeal the order that allegedly impacts the privacy of hundreds of millions of ChatGPT users globally.
In a statement, OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap explained that the court order came in a lawsuit with The New York Times and other news organizations, which alleged that deleted chats may contain evidence of users prompting ChatGPT to generate copyrighted news articles.
To comply with the order, OpenAI must "retain all user content indefinitely going forward, based on speculation" that the news plaintiffs "might find something that supports their case," OpenAI's statement alleged.
