Microsoft updates ChatGPT amid privacy and data sharing concerns

Listen to the Podcast:

Supposedly, Microsoft is creating a new version of ChatGPT for privacy-conscious business customers. Microsoft already uses ChatGPT’s GPT-4 AI (or Big Language Model) to make possible Bing Chat, which is a similar chatbot.

The Information says, however, that Microsoft’s $10 billion deal with OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT, gives Microsoft the right to sell modified versions of ChatGPT to certain users and organizations. One such product the software giant is working on is ChatGPT, which is focused on privacy and would run on your own computers.

It means that Microsoft’s ChatGPT, which is focused on privacy, will store data on Azure cloud servers that are only used for business. The data on the computer will not be able to communicate with the main ChatGPT system. Since this service is personalized, it also means that business customers would have to pay a lot to use it. The story goes that the service could cost up to ten times more than ChatGPT Plus, for which customers pay $20 right now.

Microsoft’s decision to build a private chatbot called ChatGPT could attract many big tech companies and banks that don’t allow their workers to use public or free chatbots. For example, Samsung is said to have banned ChatGPT from its servers because some workers were found to be sharing sensitive information with it, which could prove to be a privacy nightmare in the long run.

The new ChatGPT, which focuses on privacy, could be out “later this quarter.” OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, has also said that it would like to offer something similar to enterprise customers. Last week, the CEO of OpenAI told CNBC that the company had stopped training its AI big language models, such as GPT, on data from paying customers “for a while.”

Altman is quoted in the article as saying, “Clearly customers don’t want us to train on their data, so we’ve changed our plans: we won’t be doing that.” But Open is still working to improve its bot in ways that aren’t related to the APIs. It means that the LLM trains and improves based on the questions people ask on the public ChatGPT form.

The United States government has also raised the issue of privacy. Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, recently met with top leaders from Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic to discuss the risks of AI. Harris said in a statement that private companies have an “ethical, moral and legal responsibility” to make sure their AI products are safe and secure.

The US vice president also said that AI chatbots like Google’s Bard, Microsoft’s Bing Chat and OpenAI’s ChatGPT could help and hurt users.
