the launch of GPT-5, the newest model from the company, to a significant shift in personality that made GPT-5 more approachable, OpenAI has been making headlines almost daily recently. Now, it appears that the organization is considering another substantial enhancement to ChatGPT, which is now among the most popular AI chatbots available.
If implemented, this modification would enhance the security of temporary conversations with the AI chatbot by incorporating encryption. This could significantly alleviate some of the worries raised by a recent lawsuit involving the New York Times and others against OpenAI. The lawsuit demands that OpenAI retain records of all ChatGPT interactions, including those that have been erased, to allow for scrutiny regarding copyright violations.
The firm already keeps logs marked for deletion for up to 30 days after you erase them — although they are not recoverable — and this alteration could result in an even more considerable privacy issue for users of the AI service. OpenAI has voiced its opposition to the request and has emphasized how it intends to tackle user privacy in connection with the lawsuit. However, OpenAI might have a workaround, at least in one of ChatGPT’s frameworks, as reports from Axios suggest the company has been considering adding encryption to ChatGPT, but only for temporary chats in the initial phase.
