A new complaint has been sent to the Federal Trade Commission about OpenAI. The complaint asks the agency to look into the group and stop it from selling large language models like the latest version of the famous tool ChatGPT.

The nonprofit study group Centre for AI and Digital Policy made the complaint public on Thursday. It says that OpenAI broke Section 5 of the FTC Act, which forbids unfair and deceptive business practises, and the agency's rules for AI products.

The nonprofit study group Centre for AI and Digital Policy made the complaint public on Thursday. It says that OpenAI broke Section 5 of the FTC Act, which forbids unfair and deceptive business practises, and the agency's rules for AI products.

The CAIDP says that GPT-4 is "unfair, misleading, and a threat to privacy and public safety." The group says that the large language model doesn't meet the agency's standards for AI to be "transparent, explainable, fair, and empirically sound while promoting accountability."

The group wants the FTC to make OpenAI set up a way for GPT products to be evaluated separately before they are used in the future. It also wants the FTC to make a way for the public to report problems with GPT-4, like the way it does with consumer scams. It also wants the agency to start a rulemaking project to set standards for goods that use generative AI.

Marc Rotenberg, the head of CAIDP, signed an open letter that was widely shared on Wednesday. The letter asked for a halt of at least six months to "the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4." Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and co-founder of OpenAI, and Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, were among the other people who signed the letter.

OpenAI didn't answer right away when asked for a statement. The FTC didn't say anything.
