. “If you type something into a chatbot, it is probably safest to assume that (unless they guarantee otherwise), the chatbot company might train on those data; those data could ***** to other users.” Since the *******, OpenAI has taken steps to beef up its security systems, including installing additional safety guardrails to prevent unauthorized access and misuse of the models, as well as establishing
