American Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy (CAIDP) urged the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigate one of the products OpenAI. The center alleges that the company violated trade laws by releasing GPT-4 to the market. According to representatives of the organization, the language model deceives people and puts them at risk.

IN relevant complaint filed on March 30, CAIDP urged officials to study and possibly adjust OpenAI’s generative artificial intelligence technology.

“The FTC states that the use of AI must be transparent, explicable, fair, and evidence-based to promote accountability. The OpenAI GPT-4 product does not meet any of these requirements,” the center said in a statement.

CAIDP urges the FTC to launch an investigation into OpenAI, prohibit further commercial releases of the language model, and ensure that the necessary barriers are put in place to protect consumers and businesses.

OpenAI itself recently admitted that the GPT-4 model is far from perfect: it can still generate “harmful” text and spread false information that misleads users. Startup CEO Sam Altman even said it himself in one of the interviews that “a little scared” of the impact of technology on society. Backend systems driving OpenAI models also proved to be insecure due to a leak people’s personal information And their payment details .

“Under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, unfair or misleading actions or practices in or affecting commerce are prohibited,” CAIDP argues its request. The center said that OpenAI misled netizens by releasing a product that is “biased, misleading, and a threat to privacy and public safety.” OpenAI has also been criticized in a complaint for a lack of transparency about its model and the data used to train it.

CAIDP has asked the FTC to stop further commercial deployment of OpenAI products based on the GPT model, and to independently evaluate the technology and ensure it complies with FTC rules before it can return to the market. Let’s see what the Federal Trade Commission itself will respond to this, and what actions it will take.

Recall that this is not the first attempt to ban GPT-4 and ChatGPT. Formerly a host of influential media personalities signed a special petition calling for at least for a while to suspend the rapid development of the neural network in order to avoid possible sad consequences.
