Your ChatGPT Chats Can Be Used As Evidence In Court

In a major revelation for ChatGPT users, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed that conversations held with ChatGPT could be used as evidence in future lawsuits.

During a podcast interview, Altman stated that AI chats, unlike conversations with doctors, lawyers, or licensed therapists, are not protected under legal privilege, leaving them vulnerable to legal exposure.

This means that if you share personal, emotional, or confidential business information with ChatGPT, the data could be subpoenaed in court.

The news raises serious AI privacy concerns as ChatGPT continues to be widely adopted for everything from mental health support to business brainstorming.

Altman’s statement is a critical warning for AI users: your prompts, messages, and chat history could legally be used against you.

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT become embedded in everyday life, this highlights the urgent need for stronger user protections, clearer data usage policies, and transparency around how conversations are stored and accessed.
