Microsoft plans to provide an improved version of the famous ChatGPT chatbot that focuses more on security and privacy.
This version will be directed to institutions such as medical service providers, banks, and others, according to a new report published by The Information technical website.
This step comes from Microsoft in order to calm the concerns of various organizations that fear the use of ChatGPT and prohibits relying on it to work on its employees, so as not to leak any sensitive data that may harm the interests of the organization or its customers.
away from any possible leakage
The report also stated that the expected product from Microsoft will be announced “later during the current quarter of the year”, and it will be a version of ChatGPT running on dedicated servers separate and isolated from those used by other companies or individual users who run different versions of the bot in a browser. Edge, Windows system, or through any other application or service, according to the Arab portal for technical news.
This will keep sensitive data from potential leakage and will not be used to train the GPT language model behind the ChatGPT chatbot.
These secure, more privacy-friendly and data-preserving versions will also be more expensive to run and use than the standard version of the bot. The prices of these upcoming versions of ChatGPT will be 10 times the price of the regular version currently in the hands of users.

similar product
OpenAI, the main developer of the robot, also plans to launch a similar product in the coming months, as the data entered into the robot by corporate employee accounts will not be used to train the language model it is based on.
The main difference between both Microsoft products and OpenAI is that Microsoft’s version will use the company’s Azure cloud platform servers as its backend instead of competing Amazon Web servers.
It is noteworthy that Microsoft can resell OpenAI products, led by the ChatGPT chatbot, under terms agreed upon between the two companies and an existing agreement for years to come after Microsoft pumped billions of dollars in investments into OpenAI. But it seems that this agreement may eventually lead to direct competition between the two companies.

Samsung and other companies
And recent press reports indicated that Samsung banned the use of generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT or Google Bard, on its employees after several incidents of sensitive data being accidentally leaked by employees, and this made it available to other companies and users if the robot asked about it.
While Samsung followed the example of several other companies and institutions, such as the banks “JP Morgan” and “Goldman Sachs” and the financial services company “Citigroup” and the communications company “Verizon”, while the list is expected to be long during the coming period.
The ChatGPT chatbot was also temporarily banned in Italy, before the censors there retracted and lifted the ban after the developer company complied with some modifications to raise the level of security and increase privacy.
