The people helping improve AI may encounter far more personal material than users expect, from health concerns to private relationship problems.
OpenAI employs hundreds of contractors who review a large stream of requests from real ChatGPT users. These materials sometimes contain sensitive personal information, and some requests may include entire conversations between people and the chatbot. Most of ChatGPT’s more than 900 million users probably do not realize that their dialogues may be read by humans.
As reported by 404media.co.
Contractors evaluate the chatbot’s responses, analyze their quality, and identify shortcomings. This is how OpenAI seeks to improve ChatGPT’s performance and train the model to provide more accurate and relevant answers.
Internal documents show that review teams are trained to ensure that ChatGPT does not present itself as human and is less flattering toward users. The model’s excessive tendency to agree with the person it is talking to became one of the problems with version 4o. Several lawsuits have claimed that this chatbot behavior, among other factors, was linked to people’s suicides.
The practice of involving people in chat analysis creates significant privacy risks. Users often view ChatGPT as a psychologist, professional assistant, or digital friend, and therefore share intimate details about their personal lives, health problems, work, and relationships.
Contractors do not see the names of ChatGPT users. OpenAI says it tries to remove personal data before sending requests for review. At the same time, the company acknowledges that sensitive information may still appear in the materials reviewed by employees.
This practice also challenges the notion that language models improve solely through large-scale data collection from the internet, the work of highly paid engineers and artificial intelligence specialists, or the release of newer model versions. External contractors, who repeatedly read ChatGPT’s responses to real requests and evaluate them, play an important role.
Anthropic has also confirmed that it uses human review to improve its own models. This means that analyzing real conversations remains a common tool in the development of modern artificial intelligence systems.
No. I don’t think ChatGPT users imagine that somewhere there is a contractor analyzing their conversations.
– An employee who works with requests
Therefore, even if companies try to remove personal data, users should bear in mind that their conversations with chatbots may undergo human review rather than remain completely private.
