OpenAI Enhances Data Control for ChatGPT Users

OpenAI, the research and development company behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT, announced updates to its data control features on Tuesday.

These updates aim to empower users with more control over their chat history and how it's used.

Previously, users could only access their chat history if they opted in to allow their conversations to be used for training and improving ChatGPT.

This meant users who opted out for privacy reasons couldn't revisit past interactions.

According to OpenAI's announcement on Twitter, this is changing. Now, with the update, both ChatGPT Free and Plus users can access their chat history regardless of their training preference.

This provides greater flexibility and transparency for users who want to review past conversations, even if they choose not to contribute to model development.

The update is currently available on the web version of ChatGPT, with a rollout planned for mobile soon.

This broader access to chat history comes alongside OpenAI's commitment to user privacy.

The company emphasizes that for those who have previously opted out of training, their choice will be respected and their conversations won't be used for model improvement.

OpenAI's focus on user control aligns with a growing trend in the tech industry, where user privacy and data ownership are becoming increasingly important considerations.

This update provides a welcome step towards greater transparency and user empowerment within the world of large language models.
