OpenAI wants to re***ure companies. His famous chatbot ChatGPT stopped memorizing information provided by professional users in order to perfect its answers as well as its ability to write credible text. “Our customers don’t want us to train our model on their data, so we changed our plans”, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told CNBC. The change was quietly made in March. But the devil is in the details: this protection only applies to companies that pay a subscription to use OpenAI’s technology to build their own software solutions.

Nothing changes for Internet users who use the public version of ChatGPT. The conversations they have with the robots, as well as their opinion on the answers provided, are used to continue to improve the robot’s faculties. This point, which is not explained to the Internet user, has caused ChatGPT to be temporarily banned in Italy by the local Cnil.

It also causes cold sweats in companies. If ChatGPT has not yet “spit out” industrial secrets provided by employees unaware of the risks, all data typed there, such as notes from confidential meetings or protected computer code, enter de facto into OpenAI’s systems. . This has led several large groups, such as Samsung or Goldman Sachs, to block access to the platform.
