ChatGPT Users Can Now Prevent OpenAI Models From Training On Their Chat Data

OpenAI on Tuesday introduced the ability turn off chat history in its artificial intelligence chatbot (ChatGPT).

The AI company said that after turning off chat history, conversations started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve its models and won’t appear in the history sidebar.

These controls were rolled out to all users starting Tuesday, can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time.

“We hope this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process. When chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting,” OpenAI said in its blog.

Additionally, OpenAI said it is also working on a new ChatGPT Business subscription for professionals who need more control over their data as well as enterprises seeking to manage their end users.

“ChatGPT Business will follow our API’s data usage policies, which means that end users’ data won’t be used to train our models by default,” it said.

OpenAI plans to make ChatGPT Business available in the coming months.
