OpenAI has launched an "incognito mode" feature for its language-generating artificial intelligence system, chatGPT.
What Happened: OpenAI has rolled out a new feature for its successful chatbot called ChatGPT, dubbed by one employee as an “incognito mode.” The feature refrains from saving users’ conversation records or utilizing them for the purpose of enhancing chatGPT’s AI capabilities.
The San Francisco-based startup said that users now have the ability to toggle off chat history in chatGPT, which in return keeps their data from being used for training purposes of the company's models.

Once the chat history is disabled, it will not appear in the sidebar.
The company further stated, "When chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting."
Additionally, OpenAI has been developing ChatGPT Business — a subscription service tailored for enterprises seeking data control over their end users. The service will adhere to OpenAI's API data usage guidelines, ensuring that users' data is not used to train models. It is expected to be released in the coming months.
An Export feature has also been added to settings to make it easier for users to understand what information chatGPT stores. Users can obtain a file containing all the relevant data via email.
Why It's Important: OpenAI’s launch of an “incognito mode” and ChatGPT Business subscription service comes amid heightened scrutiny over the handling of vast amounts of user data used to improve AI models.
Italy prohibited chatGPT last month and specified that OpenAI could only restart the service if certain conditions were met, including providing users with the ability to object to data processing. France and Spain also began probing OpenAI.
