Sam Altman says society may decide we need AI-client privilege similar to confidentiality with lawyers or doctors

Should the sensitive information we share with AI be regulated under some form of confidentiality agreement similar to attorney-client privilege? 

Sam Altman mulled the idea in a recent interview with The Atlantic, saying that society may decide "there's some version of AI privilege." 

"When you talk to a doctor or a lawyer, there's medical privileges, legal privileges," Altman said in the interview. "There's no current concept of that when you talk to an AI, but maybe there should be."

The topic came up during a conversation with the OpenAI CEO and media mogul Arianna Huffington about their new AI health venture, Thrive AI Health. The company promises an AI health coach that tracks users' health data and provides personalized recommendations on things like sleep, movement, and nutrition.
