The AI ​​firm is rolling out an update this week that will add long-term memory to the chatbot, giving it the ability to retain bits of information in addition to specific conversations. The company says users will have complete control over what ChatGPT remembers and what it doesn’t. There is also a manual setting for more granular control of the feature.

to create Announcement OpenAI said on Tuesday (February 13) that the new memory upgrade will make future conversations more helpful and save users the hassle of repeating information in each new conversation. This feature is available for both free users and Chat GPT Plus subscribers. Currently, the feature is in the testing phase and has only been rolled out to a small portion of users. The company said it plans to share plans for a wider rollout soon.

With this feature, users can ask the AI ​​assistant to remember their favorite article lengths, writing styles, where they work, if they own a business and more.

Setting > Data controls > Improve the model And tap the toggle button. OpenAI ChatGPT does not train on team and enterprise user content.

Further, the company said that because the memory feature brings more privacy and security concerns, it is taking steps to evaluate and reduce biases and remove such information from memory. which may be sensitive, such as health details. These will only be remembered when a user explicitly orders ChatGPT to add them to memory.
