ChatGPT has recently introduced a new and much needed privacy feature. This setting allows users to protect their private data and conversations by turning off the bot’s ability to store their chat history and use it to further improve other AI models. The new privacy feature comes after ChatGPT’s suspension in Italy due to possible privacy violations, though the Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI, ChatGPT’s parent company, has said that the decision was not made in response to that ban, but rather the result of a months-long effort to give users better control over their data.
The new setting is a significant advance for the chatbot community and for those who use the bot for writing projects. People can now be sure that the bot is not utilizing their individual writing pieces for its own gains and exploiting their hard work for monetization or anything of that nature. It is critical for a company to trust its customers with something as sensitive as their information, and ChatGPT has finally provided that protection.
OpenAI is a San Francisco-based AI research laboratory founded by Elon Musk and Sam Altman that has recently gone public. It is most known for developing the technology powering ChatGPT and is currently valued at $21 Billion. OpenAI is one of the leaders of the AI research sector and the company is composed of some of the world’s most innovative minds, contributing to projects that are pushing the boundaries of AI.
