Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT encountered a widespread outage on Tuesday, affecting numerous users across the globe, including those in India. The service was inaccessible, leaving users unable to receive responses. OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, assured users that they were actively working on resolving the issue.
We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue. We have identified the problem and are taking steps to address it, stated OpenAI. With over 100 million weekly users, this outage has undoubtedly caused inconvenience to many individuals who rely on ChatGPT for various purposes.
Users took to social media to express their frustrations, with one user lamenting, ChatGPT is not responding on either my computer or phone. Another user humorously shared, I refuse to do any actual thinking until ChatGPT becomes available again. The company is investigating the root cause of the outage to ensure the smooth functioning of its chatbot service in the future.
To address such issues effectively, OpenAI has established a safety and security committee led by prominent directors such as CEO Sam Altman and Chair Bret Taylor. This committee will evaluate and enhance OpenAI’s processes and safeguards to prevent similar outages from occurring in the future.
Overall, the outage of ChatGPT serves as a reminder of the importance of robust maintenance and support systems for AI technologies to ensure uninterrupted service for users worldwide.
