OpenAI has taken a significant step towards monetizing ChatGPT by launching an enterprise-focused version of the application, ChatGPT Enterprise. This new offering retains the capabilities of ChatGPT, such as drafting emails and debugging code, but enhances them with enterprise-grade privacy, data analysis, and customization options.
What makes this intriguing is the level of privacy and data control offered. According to OpenAI, businesses will have full control over their data, and any interactions with ChatGPT Enterprise will not be used to train its AI models. This is a marked difference from the consumer version of ChatGPT, where user interactions are often used for training unless opted out.
Key features of ChatGPT Enterprise include a dedicated admin console offering tools to manage employee usage of ChatGPT, single sign-on, domain verification, and a dashboard with usage statistics. It also grants unlimited access to Advanced Data Analysis, a feature that enables ChatGPT to analyze data, create charts, and solve math problems. It’s also worth noting that ChatGPT Enterprise is powered by GPT-4, OpenAI’s flagship AI model, which offers customers priority access. techcrunch, theverge, cnbc
Why does this matter?
While the launch of ChatGPT Enterprise is a significant step forward, it will be interesting to see how businesses react to it. Currently, OpenAI’s primary competition comes from Microsoft Azure’s OpenAI service, which has similar privacy and data controls, and also uses GPT-4. Expect prices to come down as other big tech companies release competitive offers in the coming months.
