The Russian Interior Ministry reports that ChatGPT is collecting files on Russians who use it.
Russian colleagues report that OpenAI stores users' personal data by creating their digital portraits. This information can help identify a person even under a pseudonym. In addition, false instructions can be added to documents processed by AI, and then it will secretly influence the decisions of civil servants and scientists, taking into account their characteristics.
The agency did not urge people not to use the service, but recommends checking the memory settings and customization of AI services, not uploading official and personal information there, anonymizing requests and using temporary chats.
