These measures highlight the cautious approach that these organizations are adopting to navigate the potential risks associated with ChatGPT and its capabilities.

ChatGPT Enterprise which was launched just this week is geared towards businesses with some built in features such as robust privacy measures and advanced data analysis capabilities. ChatGPT Enterprise is OpenAI’s 

attempt to address business concerns confirming that:
