OpenAI has introduced an enterprise-grade version of ChatGPT, acknowledging the growing adoption of AI-powered chatbots in the workplace. This move reflects a recognition of the need to cater to risk-averse corporate IT departments that prioritize data security. However, the potential benefits of generative AI extend far beyond the workplace, raising questions about its impact on various aspects of working life.
Will the performance of general-purpose AI models, like those from OpenAI, continue to improve even without specific training for business tasks? Or will companies achieve the greatest advancements by training their own targeted AI models with proprietary data?
OpenAI estimates that 80% of employees in large US companies already use ChatGPT, despite many companies cautioning against its use due to concerns about data privacy. However, ChatGPT lacks certain business-grade attributes and IT departments often lack the necessary tools for monitoring and controlling its usage.
The recently launched enterprise version of ChatGPT partially addresses these issues. OpenAI has reassured users that it won’t use business data or conversations to train its AI models for organizations using the service, differentiating it from the free consumer version and the enhanced paid version. The new service also offers greater capabilities, including the ability to handle longer responses and better contextual understanding.
Nevertheless, generic AI models trained on internet data have limitations. They lack the domain-specific knowledge required for certain industries like finance or healthcare and lack insight into an organization’s internal processes and customer details. Hence, narrow, domain-specific models are considered more accurate and valuable for businesses.
Retraining general-purpose models with a company’s own data is crucial for specific tasks within the organization. However, this raises governance concerns, such as data transparency and potential bias. Most companies prefer to keep AI models on-premise to address these concerns and maintain control.
Despite potential challenges, as workers familiarize themselves with AI-powered chatbots in their personal lives, employers will likely struggle to prevent their adoption in the workplace. This creates a demand for enterprise-grade AI services.
OpenAI’s foray into the enterprise market poses a question about how far the company will venture into becoming an enterprise technology provider. While the business software market offers revenue opportunities, transforming products for business use and establishing robust sales and service capabilities would be a significant undertaking for a company already stretched thin. While catering to its millions of users in the office makes sense, OpenAI may not become a dominant force in enterprise technology.
