ChatGPT: A possible privacy risk associated with OpenAI’s potent GPT-3.5 Turbo language model has been discovered by a study headed by PhD candidate Rui Zhu of Indiana University Bloomington. The inquiry found that Zhu used email addresses derived from the AI last month to get in touch with people, including employees of The New York Times.

By bypassing the GPT-3.5 Turbo’s standard privacy security measures, the experiment took advantage of the AI model’s capacity to recall personal data. This implies serious concerns about the possibility that ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies could reveal private data with only minor adjustments.
The language models developed by OpenAI, such as GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4, are built to continuously learn from fresh input. The researchers tweaked the tool’s defences by utilising the fine-tuning interface of the model, which asks people to contribute additional expertise in particular domains. This approach allowed requests to be granted that would normally be refused in the conventional interface.
OpenAI’s response
In response, OpenAI emphasised its dedication to security and declined requests for personal data in response to the worries. Experts express doubt, pointing out the lack of openness surrounding the precise training data and the possible dangers of AI algorithms retaining sensitive data.
The GPT-3.5 Turbo issue highlights more general concerns with privacy in large-scale language models. Professionals contend that models that are sold commercially do not have strong privacy safeguards, which presents significant hazards as these models are constantly integrating data from many sources.
