CAIDP (Center for AI and Digital Policy) claims that OpenAI's GPT-4 violates FTC's regulations.
This picture taken on January 23, 2023 in Toulouse, southwestern France, shows screens displaying the logos of OpenAI and ChatGPT. - ChatGPT is a conversational artificial intelligence software application developed by OpenAI.
Because of this, the AI-focused tech ethics organization filed a complaint to urge the Federal Trade Commission to investigate new GPT models that OpenAI will launch.
As of writing, GPT-4 and other similar artificial intelligence tools are criticized by numerous experts and organizations.
Now, CAIDP joins them by requesting FTC to probe OpenAI's GPT-4 for allegedly breaching its consumer protection rules.

One of the risks they point out is that GPT-4 could be used to generate malicious code, as well as highly tailored propaganda.
Aside from this, the tech ethics group also accuses GPT-4 of using biased training data, which could result in stereotypes in hiring and other similar activities.
OpenAI already confirmed that GPT-4 has potential risks. However, CAIDP argued that the AI company crosses a line of consumer harm, which should be investigated by regulatory action.
The tech ethics organization added that OpenAI's GPT-4 breaches Section 5 of the FTC Act; a regulation that prevents deceptive and unfair trade practices.

CAIDP's official complaint asks for suggestions from people who also believe that OpenAI's GPT-4 violates FTC's regulations.
"As we move forward with the FTC Complaint and Petition, we welcome your suggestions for points to make and issues to raise with the FTC," said the AI-focused ethics group.
CAIDP provided the information that will be most useful for their investigation request, such as the following:
- Accurate, authoritative descriptions of risks arising from the use of GPT.
- Examples of how GPT violates the specific guidelines that the Federal Trade Commission has established.
- Expert opinions of risks arising from the use of GPT.
While others criticized AIs, some organizations, and companies decided to welcome the arrival of new artificial intelligence tools.
Recently, Goldman Sachs developers used a ChatGPT-like AI to write codes. Meanwhile, Romania's prime minister is now using the ION artificial intelligence to understand voters.
