OpenAI Will No Longer Default to Using Customer Data for Training Its Models

What's changed is that we've moved from a form-based upfront vetting system, where developers wait in a queue to be approved on their app idea in concept, to a post-hoc detection system where we identify and investigate problematic apps by monitoring their traffic and investigating as warranted

Starting today, OpenAI is changing the terms of its API developer policy, aiming to address developer—and user—displeasure. OpenAI says it won’t use data submitted through its API for “service improvements” unless a client or organization opts in. The business is also rolling out a 30-day data retention policy for API users with options for tougher retention “based on user demands,” as well as streamlining its terms and data ownership to make it very clear that users control the input and output of the models.

As the ChatGPT and Whisper APIs launch this morning, Greg Brockman, the president and chairman of OpenAI, says that some of these changes aren’t changes necessarily — it’s always been the case that OpenAI API users’ own input and output data, whether text, images, or otherwise. However, legal challenges surrounding generative AI and customer feedback prompted a rethinking of the company’s terms and data ownership.

Following a multibillion-dollar investment from Microsoft, OpenAI is under growing pressure to turn a profit. So far, it is reportedly expecting $200 million in profits in 2023, a fraction of the funding it received. OpenAI says it is going to replace its current pre-launch review process with a largely automated system. A spokesperson said the company is shifting to the new system because “the overwhelming majority of apps were approved during the vetting process,” and its monitoring capabilities have “significantly improved” since last year.

“What’s changed is that we’ve moved from a form-based upfront vetting system, where developers wait in a queue to be approved on their app idea in concept, to a post-hoc detection system where we identify and investigate problematic apps by monitoring their traffic and investigating as warranted,” the spokesperson said. Since the review team is lightening its load, an automated system is a plus, it — at least in theory — allows OpenAI to approve developers and apps for its APIs in higher volume.

“One of our biggest goals has been figuring out how to be extremely friendly to developers,” Brockman said in a video interview with TechCrunch. “We want to create a platform that others may use for businesses.”

Developers have long complained about OpenAI’s data processing procedure, which they say poses a privacy risk and profits from their personal data. In one of its own support articles, OpenAI advises against disclosing highly sensitive information in chats with ChatGPT, as it “cannot remove all prompts from users’ histories.” OpenAI wants to broaden its platform’s appeal and scale as a result. It also wants to scale massively. OpenAI cautions clients against submitting their data for training and gives them more options to keep their data.
