MediaPost reports OpenAI disclosed in a blog post that a bug may have exposed users' data. The artificial intelligence vendor said the bug "may have caused the unintentional visibility of payment-related information of 1.2%" of ChatGPT Plus subscribers active during a specific nine-hour window. Some users may also have been able to access other active user's full names, email and payment addresses, and credit card details. Editor's note: IAPP Staff Writer Jennifer Bryant reported on the concerns generative AI technologies raise around data collection, use and privacy.
