OpenAI will stop saving most ChatGPT users’ deleted chats

OpenAI, the company behind the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, has announced that it will stop saving most users' deleted chats. This decision comes after a court order that had previously required the company to preserve these deleted conversations. The order, which was controversial, was intended to aid potential future lawsuits or investigations. However, OpenAI has now successfully challenged this decision, arguing that the retention of deleted chats raises privacy concerns for its users. Moving forward, OpenAI will only retain a limited set of deleted conversations, primarily those related to potential legal or safety issues. The majority of users' deleted chats will no longer be stored by the company. This change is seen as a win for user privacy, as it ensures that users have more control over their personal data and conversations on the ChatGPT platform. The decision also highlights the ongoing debates surrounding the balance between user privacy and potential legal or investigative needs when it comes to emerging AI technologies.
