User information has helped OpenAI make its software more reliable and reduce political bias, among other issues, she said, but added that the company still has challenges to tackle. 'We'll be moving more and more in this direction of prioritizing user privacy,' Murati said, with the goal that 'it’s completely eyes off and the models are super aligned: they do the things that you want to do'. The new features did not arise from Italy's ChatGPT ban, she said, but from a months-long effort to put users 'in the driver's seat' regarding data collection. Mira Murati, OpenAI's chief technology officer, told Reuters the company was compliant with European privacy law and is working to assure regulators. France and Spain also began probing the service.

Italy last month banned ChatGPT for possible privacy violations, saying OpenAI could resume the service if it met demands such as giving consumers tools to object to the processing of their data. The move comes as scrutiny has grown over how ChatGPT and other chatbots it inspired manage hundreds of millions of users’ data, commonly used to improve, or 'train', AI. The San Francisco-based startup also said it planned a 'ChatGPT Business' subscription with additional data controls. April 25 (Reuters) - OpenAI is introducing what one employee called an 'incognito mode' for its hit chatbot ChatGPT that does not save users’ conversation history or use it to improve its artificial intelligence, the company said Tuesday.
