Anthropic plans to change enterprise data retention policy, source says
Anthropic had said in June it would require 30-day retention of all enterprise customer traffic on its more powerful Fable and Mythos models
Anthropic is planning to alter its enterprise data retention policy for its advanced AI models, sources have disclosed. This shift in policy will grant enterprise customers more control over their data when using Anthropic's AI technology. The company anticipates introducing a new safety system later this year, according to the informed source.
Despite the changes, businesses will still be required to retain data for a period of 30 days. However, they will have the flexibility to store this data on their own cloud computing infrastructure. The proposal for these modifications has been under development for several months, with Anthropic engaging over 100 customers, including Salesforce, in the process.
Bloomberg News first broke the news on Thursday. Initially, Anthropic had announced in June that it would necessitate a 30-day retention period for all enterprise customer data on its advanced Fable and Mythos models, as well as upcoming frontier models. These measures were put in place to bolster protection against potential cyber threats.
Earlier this week, OpenAI unveiled its own safety system, which allows for the identification of potential misuse of technology without retaining customer data. The terms and conditions for this change will be outlined in a separate document.
