Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, March 31, an AI policy organization in the United States accused OpenAI of violating consumer protection rules on the GPT-4 model, and asked the Federal Trade Commission of the United States to immediately prevent OpenAI from launching a new GPT model and conduct an independent evaluation.

The group, AI and the Center for Digital Policy (CAIDP), filed a complaint today that OpenAI's AI text generation tool is "biased, deceptive and risky to public safety" and violates consumer protection rules.

CTOnews.com noted that a closely watched open letter had called for a suspension of large-scale generative AI experiments. Mark Rothenberg, chairman of CAIDP, was also one of the signatories to the letter, including some AI researchers and OpenAI co-founder Elon Musk. Similar to this letter, the complaint calls for slower development of generative AI models and stricter government regulation.

CAIDP pointed out the possible threat posed by the GPT-4 generated text model announced by OpenAI in mid-March. These threats include the possibility of malicious code generated by GPT-4 and the solidification of stereotypes or unfair discrimination between race and gender in areas such as recruitment due to biases in training data. The complaint also points to serious privacy issues in the OpenAI product interface-such as a recently discovered loophole that caused OpenAI ChatGPT's historical chat history and possible payment information to be seen by other users.

OpenAI has publicly acknowledged the possible threat posed by AI text generation, but CAIDP believes that GPT-4 goes beyond the limits of harm to consumers and should lead to regulatory action. CAIDP tried to hold OpenAI accountable for violating Article 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits unfair and deceptive trade practices. The complaint alleges that "OpenAI, fully aware of these risks, opened GPT-4 to the public for commercial purposes." CAIDP also calls generative models a deception that confidently fabricates facts that don't exist.

In its complaint, CAIDP asked the FTC to stop any further commercial deployment of the GPT model and to conduct an independent evaluation before any future model was launched. It also requires the establishment of a publicly accessible reporting tool similar to that in which consumers can submit fraud complaints. And seek the FTC to clearly formulate the rules of the generative AI system, based on the agency's ongoing but still relatively informal research and evaluation of AI tools.

The Federal Trade Commission has previously expressed interest in regulating AI tools, warning that a biased AI system could trigger enforcement action, and at an event jointly organized with the Department of Justice this week, FTC chairwoman Lena Khan said the agency would look for signs that large existing technology companies were trying to crowd out competition.
