OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT, explained to the South African Competition Commission that it makes use of user and publisher data by default, and it is the responsibility of the user or publisher to opt out of this if they choose want to.
This means that OpenAI might make use of information published on websites, contained in social media posts or typed into tools like ChatGPT to refine the model and improve its output, without the original producers of the content knowing this.
Three representatives of OpenAI provided an oral submission to the Competition Commission on 25 March as part of the Media and Digital Platforms Market Inquiry being conducted by the commission.
