MICROSOFT, undoubtedly one of the forerunners in integrating AI services into its numerous services, is now apparently working on a new version of the popular chatbot ChatGPT that will address privacy concerns surrounding the AI platform. According to reports, the corporation has negotiated a $10 billion deal with OpenAI to produce a safer and more secure version that will allow people to benefit from AI without worrying about their privacy.
The reports surfaced soon after businesses like Samsung forbade the use of ChatGPT due to privacy issues and the alleged leak of private data. The report goes on to say, however, that users might have to pay more than ten times what ChatGPT Plus currently costs in order to obtain the version that is concerned with privacy.

Ever since OpenAI introduced the ChatGPT back in November last year, the company has been facing a lot of privacy concerns from different locations. Even the authorities of Italy have implemented a temporary ban on the chatbot over the same privacy concerns. Not only limited to it, but many other European countries are also in plans to take similar measures.
However, with the new updated and secure versions, the company is expected to get more clients including the IT giants and banking companies which are currently avoiding the chatbot due to its sensitive data policies.
In a recent update, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, stated in an interview with CNBC that the company is no longer training GPT-4 with "customer's data." Customers have made it clear that they do not want us to train using their data, so we have altered our plans and will not do that, he said.
If the statements are accurate, the company has already addressed a significant concern regarding data leaks with this move. There will still be privacy issues, but it's unclear how the company will handle them.
