If you use ChatGPT then your data has probably helped to train it without you realizing. Here's how to turn it off.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If you rely on ChatGPT to run aspects of your life, and often pass fairly sensitive data to the AI, you might want to make sure youve opted out of its Improve model for everyone setting. Otherwise OpenAIs model will be training itself on what you tell it.

Before you panic, you should know that not all data is automatically passed over to ChatGPTs training pool. Temporary Chats and Business plans will have this feature turned off by default. Whats more, OpenAI makes clear that the data is kept private and is purely used to improve the AIs understanding of how language is used, rather than being used to create individualized
profiles of users for advertising or other nefarious purposes.

Still, if youre a free or even a premium ChatGPT Plus account anything you
say will be helping to train ChatGPT with by default. So how do you turn it off? Three simple steps

Looking to opt out of contributing your data to the training of OpenAI's AI models? Here's how to do it: (Image credit: OpenAI / Future) Start by
clicking your profile picture in the top right corner of the ChatGPT screen. Youll then want to go into Settings , and the third option down will be Data Controls . Click it. Once in this submenu, toggle Improve the model for everyone off and close out of settings. A more private AI era? (Image credit: Apple)

Privacy in AI has always been an important topic, but it has been thrust firmly into the spotlight recently thanks to Apples WWDC 2024 keynote.

This is where the company finally unveiled its Apple Intelligence model, and one of its core features is its top-tier data handling and privacy methods which Apple has boasted are verified by independent third-parties.

It also follows Microsofts botched rollout of Recall ; its a Windows Copilot feature where an AI takes screenshots your display very frequently and logs everything you do on your PC so it can remind you of your actions later. Useful, sure, but also a potential privacy nightmare .

We expect privacy will only continue to be an important conversation, with users more and more wary of auto-on data sharing settings like ChatGPTs 'Improve model for everyone', but well have to wait and see how AI creators react. You might also like 11 super-useful iOS 18 tricks that could change
