ChatGPT, the famous OpenAI chatbot that has caused a lot of talk in recent months, will soon have a new subscription level focused on companies under the name of ChatGPT Business, and claiming the option “for professionals who need more control over their data, as well as for companies looking to manage their end users.”
In addition, OpenAI has also announced a new privacy control that will allow users to turn off chat history so that conversations will not appear in the sidebar or be used for platform training.
The new subscription tier for business needs
With regard to the arrival of ChatGPT Business in the coming months, it is still a commercial strategy in the search for new sources of income derived from the rapid growth experienced by the platform in a very few months, reaching estimates of around 100 million users. users reached last January.
With the high cost of maintaining the service, OpenAI opted for the launch of the ChatGPT Plus subscription last February with a cost of more than 20 euros per month, in addition to the launch of support for plugins more recently, to late last March.
More privacy for end users
OpenIA says that ChatGPT Business will “follow our API data usage policies”, which means that user data will not be used to carry out training of its models by default.
And with regard to the new privacy control, it should also be added that despite being able to deactivate it, OpenAI will eventually keep conversations internally for 30 days to enable their review in case of finding signs of abuse.
The direction of OpenAI
With this movement, the path that OpenAI is heading from now on is clearer: in the search for new sources of income, in the protection of user privacy, and even in adding security mechanisms that allow us to avoid possible abuses. , such as malware distribution, as some reports point out.
Nor will it hurt to add business protections to avoid new situations such as the one suffered recently by a Samsung team, which came to share confidential information with the chatbot, and that information began to form part of its database.
