ALTERNATIVELY:

You can go to this website, and click on the button in the upper right that says “Make a Privacy Request”

Note that Enterprise ChatGPT has privacy enabled by default.

“You can access the privacy portal for ChatGPT services by visiting OpenAI’s Privacy Policy page. This page provides information on how your data is handled, including collection, usage, and your rights regarding your information. If you’re looking for specific privacy settings or options to manage your data, they are generally outlined in the policy itself or via account settings within the OpenAI platform.”

Here you can also Request a copy of the data, delete your account and make a ChatGPT Personal Data Removal requests.

You should absolutely avail yourself of these settings if you are using this for work where you are loading up sensitive information. We work with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) data, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) data and research data here at the university and need to be careful.

 

Services for businesses, such as ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, and our API Platform

“By default, we do not train on any inputs or outputs from our products for business users, including ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, and the API. We offer API customers a way to opt-in to share data with us, such as by providing feedback in the Playground, which we then use to improve our models. Unless they explicitly opt-in, organizations are opted out of data-sharing by default.

Please see our Enterprise Privacy page for information on how we handle business data.”

 

 

 

AI – New Thread

AI, information, ,

I am going to be starting a new project based on using AI as an educational resource for both faculty and students.  I will create a new searchable category for this here on the blog called “AI” in case anyone is interested in filtering down to this particular journey.  I intend for this to move pretty quickly so as to hopefully deploy something while it is still in fact an emergent technology.

First little mention goes to this website tool that helps one understand the currency that this will be running on via MS Azure: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

When running this service, you operate with a quota of tokens, and the tokens cost money.

“Tokens in the context of OpenAI GPT models are clusters of characters representing the fundamental unit of text. These tokens are generated by a tokenizer algorithm that segregates text into smaller segments following certain rules, such as spaces, punctuation marks, and special characters.”
