Chatbots can now talk, but experts warn they may be listening too

The popular artifical intelligence platform ChatGPT will now be able to respond to spoken words and images, causing concern among some experts who believe the application could lead to unwanted invasions of privacy.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, released the new version of the chatbot on Monday, allowing it for the first time to interact with users with the spoken word, according to a report from the New York Times.

"We’re looking to make ChatGPT easier to use – and more helpful," Peter Deng, OpenAI’s vice president of consumer and enterprise product, told the New York Times.
