OpenAI will soon make ChatGPT answer difficult and controversial topics.The company wants ChatGPT to embrace "intellectual freedom." This means that there will now be very fewer topics that ChatGPT would not talk about.
We can expect to be similar to how Elon Musk’s Grok AI functions. Grok does not hold back even if you ask it to create images related to public figures. ChatGPT, on the other hand, does not create images of public figures–as of now.
Before, ChatGPT would sometimes refuse to answer sensitive questions. Now, OpenAI wants it to share different perspectives without taking a side. The company has updated its rules to ensure ChatGPT doesn’t lie or hide important details, according to a report by TechCrunch. The goal is to make it more transparent and helpful.
Why the change? Some people have accused ChatGPT of being biased, especially from conservative groups. They felt it leaned too much toward one side on political and social issues. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, acknowledged that the AI had bias issues in the past.
Big tech companies are changing their policies according to Trump’s rules. This change by OpenAI might also be tied to political shifts in the US, where the new Trump administration has criticized tech companies for censorship. OpenAI may be adjusting to avoid these conflicts.
Will ChatGPT answer everything now? Not quite. It will still avoid harmful or false information but will try to answer more questions instead of rejecting them.
OpenAI also removed warning messages about policy violations. The company says this was just a cosmetic change and doesn't affect how the AI works.
Other tech companies, like Meta and X (formerly Twitter), are also relaxing content moderation. As AI chatbots become key information sources, their neutrality and accuracy are getting more attention. OpenAI’s new approach aims to balance free speech with responsible AI use. Time will tell how well it works.
