ChatGPT usage raises legal, privacy, and functional considerations

As ChatGPT becomes a standard tool for professional and personal use, experts are highlighting critical legal, privacy, and functional considerations.

In Peru, companies using AI must navigate specific regulations, including Law No. 31814 and personal data protection laws, to ensure the handling of confidential information remains compliant. The legal risks of over-reliance are illustrated by a case in Denmark, where a worker nearly lost a 50,000 euro indemnity because an incorrect AI response suggested he had no grounds for a claim following a workplace accident.

Privacy remains a primary concern. Users can manage how OpenAI uses their data by disabling model training in settings or using temporary chats to prevent conversations from being saved or used for training. Additionally, security experts warn that participating in viral AI photo trends can expose biometric data to potential misuse.

On the functional side, ChatGPT includes built-in image editing tools. Users can access options to comment on specific areas to change details, erase objects, remove backgrounds, or resize images without needing to rewrite entire prompts.
