OpenAI rolls out 'incognito mode' on ChatGPT.

OpenAI has recently announced the addition of a new "incognito mode" for its popular ChatGPT chatbot. The new feature allows users to use the chatbot without having their conversation history saved or used for AI training purposes. The introduction of this feature follows increasing scrutiny and concerns over how chatbots like ChatGPT handle user data to improve their AI capabilities.

Additionally, OpenAI plans to introduce a ChatGPT Business subscription that will provide additional data controls to users. The new features were developed as part of a broader effort to prioritize user privacy and control over their data collection.

Mira Murati, OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer, has stated that the company is compliant with European privacy laws and is working to assure regulators that the company is committed to user privacy.

The new release allows users to switch off "Chat History & Training" in their settings and export their data. However, the company will retain conversations for 30 days to monitor for abuse before permanently deleting them. OpenAI's business subscription will also not use conversations for AI model training by default.

Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI, has already begun offering ChatGPT to its business customers. Murati stated that the service would appeal to Microsoft's existing customers.
