OpenAI says ChatGPT’s behavior “remains unchanged” after reports across social media falsely claimed that new updates to its usage policy prevent the chatbot from providing legal and medical advice. Karan Singhal, Head of Health AI at OpenAI, Writes on X That the allegations are “incorrect.”
“ChatGPT has never been a substitute for professional advice, but it will continue to be a great resource to help people understand legal and health information,” says Singhal, in response to a now-deleted post from betting platform Kalshi that claimed “merely: ChatGPT will no longer provide health or legal advice.”
According to Singhal, the inclusion of policies surrounding legal and medical advice is “not a new change to our terms.”
New policy update On October 29th It has a list of things you can’t use ChatGPT for, and one of them is to “provide personalized advice that requires a license, such as legal or medical advice, without the appropriate involvement of a licensed professional.”
This remains similar to OpenAI Use previous ChatGPT The policy, which states that users should not engage in activities that “may materially harm the safety, well-being, or rights of others,” including “providing personalized legal, medical/health, or financial advice without review by a qualified professional and disclosing the use of AI assistance and its potential limitations.”
OpenAI previously had three separate policies, including a “global” policy, as well as ChatGPT and API usage policies. With the new update, the company has a unified list of rules that its change log says “reflects a global set of policies across OpenAI products and services,” but the rules remain the same.
