OpenAI's Terms of Use require all users to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration, waiving their right to join class action lawsuits — a significant restriction on legal recourse in the event of harm. Users also grant OpenAI a broad license to use their inputs and conversations to improve and train AI models, which has privacy implications for anything shared during interactions. You can opt out of having your conversations used to train OpenAI's models by navigating to Settings > Data Controls in your ChatGPT account and disabling 'Improve the model for everyone'.
