Microsoft, a prominent tech company, is planning to make a move that could win over companies that were concerned about using their artificial intelligence powered chatbot, ChatGPT. The issue was that when using the software, there was a fear of proprietary information being given away inadvertently. To put these worries to rest, Microsoft’s Azure cloud server unit is introducing a version of the ChatGPT which will be on its own private cloud server with data kept completely separate from any other customers. This move comes with a hefty price tag, though, as the product could be ten times as expensive as the regular version of the software.
Microsoft is renowned for its technological advances in various areas, such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Founded in 1975, it is one of the biggest tech companies in the world with presence in various countries and services ranging from cloud computing to productivity tools to gaming. It is known to have the rights to resell the startup ChatGPT’s technology, and hopes that its offering of the private cloud version of the software will ease the worries that companies such as banks have over potential data leaks.
The announcement of the new version of ChatGPT has been credited to two people. These two individuals have knowledge of the upcoming Microsoft announcement and presumably worked during or helped in the development of the technology. As such, they play a pivotal role in delivering this product to many businesses who are leary over potential data leakage issues. Undoubtedly, they had to take into account a variety of different aspects coming from the customer, such as addressing the need to protect company information and pricing. They have also helped illustrate the value of ChatGPT for businesses looking to automate business tasks. Microsoft’s move is likely to be welcomed by those who have so far been unwilling to adopt the chatbot.
