- OpenAI has announced a new generative AI plan aimed squarely at organisations called ChatGPT Enterprise.
- The new plan is said to tout enterprise-grade security and privacy, as well as unlimited higher-speed GPT-4 access.
- OpenAi confirmed that organisations control their data, and that it will not train ChatGPT on the data generated via Enterprise.
It is surprising to think that ChatGPT launched to the public only nine months ago, but in that time it has placed generative AI front of mind for thousands of organisations across numerous industries.
According to its developer OpenAI, ChatGPT has been adopted or implemented within teams at 80 percent of the Fortune 500 companies, which is likely way it has now debuted a new ChatGPT Enterprise plan.
“We’re launching ChatGPT Enterprise, which offers enterprise-grade security and privacy, unlimited higher-speed GPT-4 access, longer context windows for processing longer inputs, advanced data analysis capabilities, customization options, and much more,” it explained in a blog post.
As such, the new Enterprise version will not be vastly different from the publicly available version of the generative AI platform, but will offer better security and control of data for organisations, with the latter aspect being one of the reasons why several businesses chose to bar its employees from using AI tools in their environments.
“You own and control your business data in ChatGPT Enterprise. We do not train on your business data or conversations, and our models don’t learn from your usage. ChatGPT Enterprise is also SOC 2 compliant and all conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest,” the blog post clarified.
“Our new admin console lets you manage team members easily and offers domain verification, SSO, and usage insights, allowing for large-scale deployment into enterprise,” it added.
At the time of writing, it is unclear how much access to the new Enterprise plan will cost organisations, with OpenAI urging those businesses interested in it to contact its sales team. As such, it may depend on the size of your organisation and the tasks you wish the generative AI to perform that may impact cost from business to business.
Either way, it is clear that OpenAI is actively looking at ways to monetise its wildly popular creation, especially as TechCrunch points out, it cost the company an estimated $540 million to develop last year and a reported $700 000 a day to run.
Unless your business has put strict parameters in place regarding the use of generative AI within their environments, it will be interesting to see what the uptake of this solution will be, particularly as plans like GPT Plus are still available.
