ChatGPT boss pledges to work with FTC |
The CEO of the company behind artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT has pledged to work with the Federal Trade Commission, even as he criticized how news of the agency's probe of the company became public. |
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's response came after the agency's request for documents from the company about the AI chatbot was first reported Thursday by The Washington Post. "[I]t is very disappointing to see the FTC's request start with a leak and does not help build trust," Altman tweeted.

The Post had reported that the FTC's expansive request to OpenAI seeks descriptions of complaints to the company as well as records related to a security incident disclosed in March. Altman said GPT-4, the language model powering ChatGPT, was built "on top of years of safety research" and the company spent more than six months after the "initial training" to make it "safer and more aligned before releasing it."
