OpenAI confronts user panic about the court ordered preservation of chatgpt logs

    In the copyright fight, Magistraat -judge ONA Wang granted the order within one day after the NYT request. She agreed with news -Requirements that it was probably that chatgpt -users could be lured by the lawsuit and possibly have set their chats to remove when using the chatbot to stretch NYT payment walls. Because OpenAi did not shared deleted chat logbooks, the news -the requirements had no way to prove that, she suggested.

    Now, OpenAi not only asks Wang to reconsider, but “this order has also appealed to the court of the court,” said Thursday's statement.

    “We are convinced that this is an over -range of the New York Times,” Lightcap said. “We continue to appeal against this order, so that we can first keep putting your trust and privacy.”

    Who has access to deleted chats?

    To protect users, OpenAi offers a FAQ that clearly explains why their data is retained and how it can be exposed.

    For example, the statement noted that the order has no influence on OpenAI API -business customers under zero data retention agreements because their data is never stored.

    And for users whose data is being hit, OpenAI noted that their deleted chats were accessible, but they will not be “automatically” shared with the New York Times. Instead, the detained data is “stored separately in a secure system” and “protected under legal hold, which means that it is not accessible or used for purposes other than complying with legal obligations,” Openai explained.

    Of course, with the fight against the court, the FAQ did not have all the answers.

    Nobody knows how long OpenAi is needed to maintain the deleted chats. Probably to reassure users – some of whom seemed to be considering switching to a rival service until the order lifts – OpenAI noted that “only a small, controlled OpenAI Legal and Security team would have access to this data as necessary to meet our legal obligations.”
