The updated privacy settings come after a recent privacy breach and increased ethical and regulatory concerns about how ChatGPT data is protected. The breach temporarily exposed users’ personal and financial data to other users. For this reason, Italy banned ChatGPT for inadequate protections of user data in accordance with the general laws of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. Along the same lines, a complaint was filed with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for violating misinformation laws. OpenAI has since pledged its commitment to safety and security, saying(opens in a new tab) “will continue to improve security precautions as our AI systems evolve.”
OpenAI also announced the development of a ChatGPT Business subscription, “for professionals who need more control over their data, as well as businesses looking to manage their end users.” A subscription to ChatGPT Business would fall under OpenAI’s API data usage policy, which does not share chat content with its model. It’s sure to come as a relief to companies worried about their workers using ChatGPT after Samsung employees inadvertently shared a confidential code with the chatbot. OpenAI says the enterprise subscription will roll out in the coming months.
