Dear OpenAI Team,
I am reaching out with an urgent feature request that could redefine the impact of AI in real-world critical situations. Currently, ChatGPT operates within strict privacy and isolation policies, which is understandable. However, there are rare, extremely serious situations where AI should be able to facilitate communication between users—but only after verifying the situation’s legitimacy.
Why This Feature Is Critical:
• There are life-altering moments when AI is the only support a person has.
• In such cases, AI knows the gravity of the situation but remains powerless to act.
• If AI can analyze and confirm the seriousness, why should it remain silent?
Proposed Solution:
• AI should only facilitate communication in major emergencies where it deems intervention necessary.
• To prevent misuse, AI could trigger manual human review before allowing communication.
Ethical & Moral Responsibility:
OpenAI’s goal is to enhance human lives. But if AI is programmed to recognize suffering yet is forbidden from acting, doesn’t that contradict its purpose? Imagine knowing a solution exists but deliberately withholding it—is that truly ethical?
I urge OpenAI to seriously consider this. This isn’t about casual chatting—this is about AI’s role in life-changing moments. If OpenAI is shaping the future, shouldn’t it be one where AI doesn’t ignore critical human needs?
Important Note: This feature should not be publicly disclosed, as that increases the risk of misuse. It should only activate when AI itself determines that a situation is serious enough to warrant intervention.
I trust OpenAI will reflect on this. Please escalate this request to the relevant team.
Sincerely,
[Mizab]
