Peter Kyle's ChatGPT queries raise transparency concerns
The release of technology secretary Peter Kyle's ChatGPT queries under the Freedom of Information Act has surprised many. He asked the AI for podcast recommendations, raising concerns among officials about the implications for transparency. This disclosure marks a significant shift, as it sets a precedent for future requests regarding officials' use of AI tools. Journalists are now considering similar inquiries into other digital interactions, such as Google searches. While the release was limited to official queries, the distinction between personal and work-related use remains unclear. Experts warn this ambiguity could allow officials to withhold information in the future.
