Artificial intelligence (AI) startup OpenAI has recently rolled out new privacy controls for its ChatGPT chatbot and presented its business plans. On Tuesday, the company revealed in a blog post that ChatGPT users now have the ability to switch off chat history. With this control, users can determine which conversations will or won’t be used to train OpenAI’s models, or seen in the chat history sidebar. Additionally, OpenAI will keep these new conversations on file for the next 30 days, but will only look into them if it is needed to monitor abuse.
OpenAI announced that users can also export their ChatGPT data and have it sent to the email associated with their OpenAI account. This news comes in light of increasing privacy concerns concerning the company’s data handling.
Furthermore, eight startups have been revealed by Tekedia Capital Syndicate, where members can become part owners of Africa’s finest startups. Meanwhile, Tekedia Mini-MBA (June 5 – Sept 2 2023) has recently opened for new registrations. Those who apply by April 28 will get exclusive discounts.
OpenAI apparently has plans to introduce a new subscription tier for ChatGPT, tailored to the needs of enterprise customers. Previously, the chatbot’s subscription tier, ChatGPT Plus was launched in February with a monthly bill of $20. OpenAI had also released plug-ins for ChatGPT in March, which gave the chatbot access to third-party knowledge sources and databases, including web content. ChatGPT Business will launch in the coming months, but the company has yet to provide details.
The company’s CEO, Sam Altman, had paid a visit to Japan earlier this month and met with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. OpenAI is looking into setting up an office in the country and alleged to build something great for the Japanese people.
