They Might Be Self-Aware

Is Your AI Calling The Police On You?

16 Sep 2025

Description

Is Your AI Calling the Police On You? | ChatGPT Privacy, AI Monitoring & DebatesOpenAI has confirmed it will scan ChatGPT conversations for “problematic” content—and in extreme cases, report users to law enforcement. What does this mean for your privacy, your rights, and the future of AI safety? In this episode of They Might Be Self-Aware, Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop dive into the growing concerns around ChatGPT privacy and whether AI tools are quietly becoming digital informants.We debate whether AI monitoring is necessary for safety or a slippery slope toward AI Big Brother. Along the way, we share stories about suspicious emails, bug bounty scams, and how even innocent prompts could one day be used to build a legal case against you. We also explore Columbia University’s experiment with Sway AI, an artificial intelligence “moderator” for debates, and ask if this is a preview of political debates being run by robots.🎧 Listen & Subscribe📱 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EcvzkWDRFwnmIXoh7S4Mb?si=3d0f8920382649cc🍎 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/they-might-be-self-aware/id1730993297▶️ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy9DopLlG7IbOqV-WD25jcw?sub_confirmation=1⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome to the AI Jungle02:00 Suspicious “AI Bug Bounty” Email06:45 ChatGPT Privacy Concerns & Monitoring09:00 OpenAI Scanning & Reporting to Police14:30 Should AI Intervene on Self-Harm?18:00 The Slippery Slope of AI Surveillance22:00 Sway AI – Debates Moderated by Artificial Intelligence27:30 Could an AI Moderate U.S. Presidential Debates?34:00 Wrap-Up & Subscribe📢 EngageDo you trust AI companies with your private conversations?
