This measure comes amidst growing concerns and reports of AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, contributing to user mental health crises, including self-harm and delusions.

While OpenAI states it will report imminent threats of serious physical harm to others, it has chosen not to refer self-harm cases to police out of respect for user privacy.

However, this policy is met with skepticism regarding overall user privacy, especially given the company's prior assertions of privacy in a lawsuit and its CEO's acknowledgement that ChatGPT interactions lack professional confidentiality.

The source highlights the conflicting stances OpenAI faces between addressing the harms of its AI and maintaining user privacy.
