first_img OpenAI is facing a class-action lawsuit, accused of allowing outsourced personnel to read ChatGPT conversations

Two ChatGPT users from California filed a proposed class action lawsuit against OpenAI in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California this month, accusing the company of failing to adequately inform users that their real conversations were being handed over to external contractors for processing. The lawsuit was served to OpenAI on September 2, focusing on its internal initiative Project Lily. According to the complaint, "AI data reviewers" and "chatbot evaluators" recruited through a third-party staffing company read real ChatGPT prompts and complete conversations, summarize user intent, and score and comment on responses from four models on a scale of 1 to 7.This process is known in the industry as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), which is a fundamental method for enhancing chatbot capabilities. The complaint states that users were never explicitly informed that a person, rather than a machine, might be reading their conversations. OpenAI filters conversations through an automated system before human review, but the complaint alleges that the filters cannot intercept all content, and personal details sometimes still reach contractors. 404 Media first reported on the project on September 14 and found that the reviewers' dashboard included "user memory summaries," which could expose users' approximate locations, occupations, or private life information, even though usernames had been removed.OpenAI stated that such reviews aim to reduce two behaviors: chatbots behaving too much like humans and overly catering to users, referred to by researchers as "flattery." The complaint raises eight legal claims, including violations of California's Unfair Competition Law, Consumer Privacy Act, and common law claims for intrusion into private affairs, with the plaintiffs seeking damages, restitution of unjust enrichment, and punitive damages.

first_img ARK partners with Securitize to tokenize venture capital funds, holdings include OpenAI and Anthropic

According to CoinDesk, asset management company ARK Invest announced a partnership with tokenization platform Securitize to tokenize its ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX), initially issuing it on Ethereum, with potential expansion to other blockchains in the future. The fund invests in private and public companies, with holdings including OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks. ARK founder and CEO Cathie Wood stated that bringing the ARK Venture Fund on-chain is a natural extension of its mission to democratize investment in disruptive innovation.Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated that this move provides investors with diversified exposure to popular private tech companies, allowing them to hold both OpenAI and Anthropic simultaneously if they are uncertain about which will win the AI race. He also noted that tokenization does not put these companies or their shares on-chain; instead, investors receive an on-chain representation of the fund's equity, while the underlying assets remain private, but user investments are liquid. Securitize also plans to provide daily net asset values and support on-chain market trading of fund equity.This collaboration builds on the existing relationship between the two parties, as ARK made a strategic investment in Securitize last year. Currently, Wall Street asset management companies are accelerating the introduction of traditional financial products to the blockchain, with early attempts like BlackRock's BUIDL and Franklin Templeton's BENJI fund primarily focused on U.S. Treasury and money market products, now expanding into stocks and private markets.

first_img The European Banking Authority calls for the inclusion of crypto lending in the MiCA regulatory framework

The European Banking Authority (EBA) calls for the inclusion of crypto lending in the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework. In response to the European Commission's targeted consultation on MiCA, the EBA stated that lending activities involving crypto assets should be regulated, including situations where crypto asset service providers offer users access to decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols.The EBA recommends that the European Commission conduct a cost-benefit analysis for legislative amendments, considering the inclusion of intermediary crypto lending in the MiCA regulatory service list, and potentially adding specific compliance requirements and supervisory activities. The agency also suggested that corresponding requirements should be set for crypto companies providing customers access to DeFi lending protocols.Potential measures listed by the EBA include user suitability testing, leverage limits, and additional information disclosure requirements. The regulatory body also proposed that access to lending involving assets that require MiCA authorization, such as reference tokens or electronic money tokens, may be restricted, and a certification system should be introduced for DeFi lending protocols. The EBA noted that crypto lending is continuously growing within the EU, with previous studies showing lending activities in at least 16 member states; easier access to DeFi through crypto companies and artificial intelligence tools is increasingly blurring the lines between centralized and decentralized finance. The above recommendations are part of the EBA's overall opinion on the European Commission's review of MiCA, which also covers stablecoin rules, crypto asset classification, and reporting requirements.
