Chatgpt: towards finally secure conversations? Openai thinks

In 2025, the majority of exchanges via messaging services (WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal …) was secured with end -to -end encryption. The same cannot be said of conversations with AI. Nothing very surprising to this, since firms behind these artificial intelligences use (often very personal) data provided by users to supply their models and personalize the experience. But this could soon change, at least on Chatgpt.

Soon more data security on Chatgpt

During a meal with journalists, Sam Altman spoke of this situation and the possibility of adding chatgpt encryption. This safety layer could prevent third parties, such as hackers or governments, access the content of sensitive conversations.

However, several obstacles and limitations are already arising.

Mainly, this addition of an encryption algorithm to prevent anyone from accessing the data cannot apply to the set of chatgpt. OPENAI cannot completely do without this information to feed the training of its AI and its memory function. Thus, only the ephemeral mode of Chatgpt could be affected by this encryption.

Chatgpt

Chatgpt is the Openai chatbot, based on the GPT artificial intelligence model, making it possible to answer all kinds of questions or requests. Available in free online version.

For the record, these temporary discussions do not appear in history and are not used for training. OPENAI, however, keeps them 30 days for “security”. On the other hand, if encryption should be effective on the data during their transit, once on the servers of Openai the latter could be able to read it, and therefore to provide them to the authorities in the event of a request.

An issue for users and Openai

The firm could then be inspired by what Apple does, yet not the best student when you think IA. The system Private Cloud Compute From the firm makes it possible to pass encrypted data on the servers of the firm so that Apple Intelligence uses it, but without giving access to employees.

Finally, this encryption should not happen immediately. If Sam Altman notes that this is a subject of importance given to what extent users are quick to reveal personal data at AI, he specifies that Optai currently has no exit windows planned to offer a solution.
