Must your chatbot rat you out?

New court cases may take chatbot conversations another step away from privacy You may recall that court cases have recently held users’ conversations with public “retail” chatbots like the publicly available versions of ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, etc. are not confidential, because the chatbot purveyor can look in on those conversations at will. (I have previously posted about that lack of privacy here.) However, certain private “enterprise” versions or other specially closed-off versions of chatbots may still offer confidentiality to users.
