ChatGPT

ChatGPT is an AI assistant from OpenAI that processes instructions and questions conversationally. It is built on large AI models and, depending on available capabilities, can draft, explain, summarise, translate, assist with programming, and analyse files, images, or other content. Available models, tools, limits, and data features depend on product version, plan, region, and settings and may change.

ChatGPT generates responses from learned patterns and provided context. It may misunderstand issues, misrepresent sources, or produce convincing errors. Outputs should therefore be reviewed according to their risk. Organisations must also translate confidential-data requirements, access controls, retention, provider terms, copyright, and human responsibility into clear usage policies.
