Questions
- Does ChatGPT Business train on our data?
- Not by default, OpenAI says. Your work is still processed in OpenAI's cloud. With Factr-M it is processed on hardware in your office.
- Can we keep ChatGPT as well?
- Yes. Factr-M removes outside AI providers unless you keep one, so ChatGPT can stay for the work you're happy to send out.
