GPT creators have no procedural protection—no notice requirement and no limitation on the reasons OpenAI may invoke—before their GPT is removed from the platform.
The updated terms introduce a new Prompt-to-Voice feature with strict usage requirements. Users must obtain express consent before reproducing any person's voice, must clearly disclose that generated speech is AI-generated, and must not remove or alter OpenAI-provided AI-origin indicators. Critically, OpenAI's indemnification obligations do not apply to Prompt-to-Voice or its output, meaning customers and End Users bear full legal liability if generated speech infringes third-party intellectual property rights or violates consent requirements.
View change record →The updated terms establish new responsibilities for users who deploy autonomous agents (Dots). Users must provide clear instructions, set appropriate limits, monitor agent actions, and are liable for transactions the agents make on their behalf. Additionally, users connecting their ChatGPT accounts to third-party services via Sign in with ChatGPT will share authentication information and usage data with those services, subject to those services' own terms and policies. You can review the Sign in with ChatGPT Terms and the third-party service's privacy policy before connecting your account.
View change record →The updated terms introduce OpenAI Academy, a free learning platform, and establish separate governance for it. If you access Academy through an organization-associated email address or account (including via Sign in with ChatGPT with a workspace account), OpenAI states it may share your Academy activity data—including enrollment, engagement, progress, and completion status—with your organization's owners or administrators. Business or enterprise workspace terms do not apply to Academy use, even when you sign in with a workspace account. You can review the separate OpenAI Academy Terms of Use and Code of Conduct to understand the specific rules governing Academy access.
