OpenAI announces Private Intelligence, stronger data controls for businesses

OpenAI announced Private Intelligence, a set of data protections for businesses that use its most capable models on sensitive work. OpenAI says it is building the protections in close collaboration with some of its largest customers.

As described on OpenAI's page, it covers:

• Access limits: strict limits on OpenAI's own access to customer data.
• Zero Data Retention for eligible workflows.
• Private Inference, in preview, which uses confidential computing for eligible workflows.
• Agent controls: customers define what data, tools and actions an agent can reach, and which actions need approval.
• Data ownership: customers own their inputs and outputs.
