OpenAI has updated ChatGPT to make it a little more user-friendly for those concerned about privacy. With this update, users will start seeing the option to export their data as well as the option to turn off “Chat History and Tutorial” in ChatGPT settings. The new features were announced by OpenAI’s chief technology officer, Mira Murati.
Murati said that ChatGPT will focus more on user privacy in the future. Apparently, the decision to address the privacy issue has been debated within the company for months.
So how do you find this setting? To find the setting, sign in to ChatGPT and select your name from the bottom left, then press Settings and then Show by Data Controls. You can then turn off the tracking and history settings and export your data.
While the extra privacy is nice, there is a small caveat to be aware of and that is that your chats will continue to be stored by OpenAI for 30 days to make sure you don’t abuse their system.
So, do you have privacy concerns about artificial intelligence and do these concerns prevent you from using these technologies? Let us know in the comments.
