OpenAI ChatGPT Safety Feature: ChatGPT Soon people are going to get a feature with the help of which they will be able to add the phone number of their friends or family as ‘Trusted Contact’. If ChatGPT senses that the user is going through a mental breakdown while interacting with the user, the AI chatbot will be able to send a notification alert to the number added by the user.
Will be able to add trusted contact
According to a Times Now report, a recent update released by OpenAI has revealed that ChatGPT users will soon be able to set a friend, partner or family member as a Trusted Contact. If during a conversation with a user ChatGPT feels that the user is going through some mental crisis, it can send a notification alert to the number added by the user. However, it is not yet known what or certain words will trigger such alerts.
The system works on this pattern
The system may work on patterns of repeated distress, harmful thoughts, or emotional instability by the user. But OpenAI has not yet given any information in this regard publicly.
Bringing new features to remove flaws
OpenAI has been working on providing such facilities for a long time. In fact, in the legal suit filed against the company, the question was raised about how chatbots handle sensitive conversations. In some cases, it was said that prolonged interactions could promote harmful thinking or deepen loneliness. The company has acknowledged these concerns and said that they are working on bringing new features to fix these flaws. This feature is also a part of that.
Such people will get help
In fact, let us tell you that today many people are using AI chatbots for emotional conversations also. Because they feel more privacy there. In such a situation, sometimes the advice given by chatbot can be harmful for people. Even though this upcoming feature is optional, it can be useful for users.
In addition to this feature, the company is also working on improving how ChatGPT understands emotional contexts. At present, no information has been revealed about when the feature will be launched.
