Microsoft has stepped up its game when it comes to chatbots. The company is reportedly working on introducing a new version of ChatGPT, the widely popular AI-based chatbot from OpenAI, that focuses on data privacy. This new version of ChatGPT is intended for large tech companies and banking organisations, prioritising privacy over efficiency.
OpenAI is an American artificial-intelligence company best known as the creator of ChatGPT. The chatbot has sparked the interest of many tech giants, attempting to replicate its success. However, due to privacy concerns, companies like Samsung and other European countries banned the ChatGPT usage on their platforms.
In response to these privacy concerns, OpenAI recently introduced a feature that allows users to switch off the chatbot’s history if they don’t want the app keeping a record of their chats. The company has also signed a $10 billion deal with Microsoft for the development of a tweaked version of ChatGPT that aims to provide users with added security. This version of ChatGPT, however, will be more expensive than its predecessor, ChatGPT Plus.
Microsoft, the American multinational technology company, is best known for providing some of the most successful software and operating systems to the tech industry. The company has been pushing for better AI since its inception and has made several successes in the development of chatbots like Cortana, Skype Translator, and its take on AI, Tay. It appears that the company is keen on taking AI to the next level by introducing a new chatbot that puts emphasis on data privacy.
Meanwhile, OpenAI’s CEO and Co-founder, Sam Altman, is known to be one of the leading minds in the field of artificial intelligence. After the success of ChatGPT, Sam looked to further elevate OpenAI’s efforts to help advance the deployment of AI technology. Additionally, he hopes to set an example as to how AI can be developed and used responsibly, hence the introduction of the new privacy-sensitive version of ChatGPT.
For those who are unaware, ChatGPT Plus is the paid version of ChatGPT. Subscribers of ChatGPT Plus get the additional benefit of having access to the chatbot even during peak times and also faster response time. Along with this, ChatGPT Plus users also get priority access to new features.
In essence, Microsoft is looking to introduce a version of ChatGPT that is more privacy-focused. OpenAI is also working on gaining the trust of its users by introducing new privacy features for the chatbot. This move reinforces the need for data privacy and pushes further towards a more secure AI-driven future.
