OpenAI employs human contractors to read and evaluate actual ChatGPT user conversations as part of quality assurance, according to reporting by 404 Media and La Repubblica Tech. The practice, referred to as Project Lily, involves selecting conversations to assess AI response quality. La Repubblica Tech reports that while OpenAI applies filters to personal data, sensitive information can still pass through, raising transparency concerns about what user data contractors access and how it is handled.

Where they diverge

Both outlets confirm the core fact of human review, but La Repubblica Tech emphasizes the privacy and transparency risks—specifically that OpenAI's data filters may fail to block sensitive information—while 404 Media frames the story more broadly within a podcast covering multiple tech industry developments.
