OpenAI is facing internal and external scrutiny regarding the ethical implications of its AI technologies. Employees have voiced concerns about a potential military deal with the startup Anduril, fearing damage to OpenAI's reputation due to its association with a weapons manufacturer. One employee noted that the company seemed to be downplaying the implications of working with a weapons manufacturer. Another employee said that they were concerned the deal would hurt OpenAI’s reputation.
OpenAI's technologies, specifically ChatGPT, have also come under scrutiny regarding their potential impact on mental health. Research indicates that specific types of ChatGPT usage, particularly "personal conversations" involving emotional expression, may be linked to increased loneliness among users. A study found that users who were more prone to emotional attachment were more likely to report increased loneliness in response to frequent personal conversations with the chatbot. Interestingly, the research also highlights that most people use ChatGPT for practical purposes rather than seeking emotional support.
