Can You Delete ChatGPT Conversation History? Start Here.
As the AI chatbot ChatGPT becomes increasingly popular, its parent company OpenAI is taking safety and privacy very seriously. Users of the service are informed that their chat conversations may be visible to AI trainers and are instructed not to type in any sensitive information. To increase transparency, OpenAI is now providing users with an option to disable their chat record with ChatGPT. By keeping the conversation history off, users will have a higher level of privacy and the conversations will not be used to train the AI tool. Additionally, OpenAI will delete any conversations under the higher privacy mode after 30 days.
Businesses and individuals that use AI chatbots that collect consumer personal information must ensure they understand the privacy policies of the tools they use. Companies should have their policies on how such tools should be used at work, according to Duane Pozza, a partner at Wiley Rein LLP who advises on privacy and data. With the increasing scrutiny on the privacy of user data on popular websites, OpenAI is implementing measures to ensure users can control their personal data. In the same vein, Microsoft has launched the Bing search bot with a "privacy dashboard" where users can monitor and manage their search history.
The rise of AI websites has raised concerns over user privacy and the potential for exploitation by malicious actors. To address these concerns, Rudina Seseri, founder, and managing partner of Glasswing Ventures investing in AI advises users of AI chatbots to be cautious and avoid sharing what they do not want the world to know.
OpenAI has taken measures to protect user privacy on ChatGPT. By disabling conversation history, users can safeguard their data and control its usage.
