Hey reader, just a heads up — I’m part of the dynamic duo behind MirageGPT. So, fair warning, I might be a tad biased when I talk about our creation — MirageGPT. Now that we’ve got that clear, buckle up for an enlightening journey into the world of privacy-first, GDPR-compliant language models!

The Risks of Third-party AIs

Data leak risk using ChatGPT

Data leaks are a significant risk when using third-party AI solutions like ChatGPT and Google Bard. Case in point, an incident where Samsung employees unintentionally shared confidential information with ChatGPT, resulting in a notable data breach. Even tech giant Apple restricted its employees from using AI tools like ChatGPT, fearing leakage or unauthorized collection of confidential information. Similar restrictions have been observed at other industry leaders such as JP Morgan, Verizon, and Amazon, emphasizing the seriousness of this issue.

Compliance with Data Privacy Regulations

AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT have come under the microscope because they might not align well with privacy laws like the GDPR. There’s a particular concern for businesses in Europe when it comes to US services. The US has laws like the Patriot Act and the FREEDOM Act that can force companies to share stored user data with US government agencies. This could go against the privacy rules set by the GDPR.

The European Union, renowned for its strict data protection standards, is at the forefront of establishing robust AI governance. It urges the AI industry to adopt a voluntary code of conduct as an immediate safeguard while new laws are being developed. Several EU countries, including France, Italy, and Spain, are investigating potential data privacy breaches related to AI tools such as ChatGPT.

Meanwhile, beyond the EU, countries such as Australia, China, Japan, and the U.S. are also working on or considering regulations for ChatGPT. These global concerns further underscore the urgent need for a solution that prioritize data privacy and ownership norms.

Enter MirageGPT

MirageGPT is specifically crafted as a business-safe alternative to existing platforms like ChatGPT. While OpenAI haspaved the way for advancements in language model technologies, they also present a potentially unsettling caveat — the use of user input for model improvement.

In contrast, MirageGPT prioritizes user privacy and data ownership. We provide an environment where data remains private. No information from interactions with MirageGPT is ever used for training or any other purposes. It’s a fresh approach that puts the control firmly back in your hands. MirageGPT keeps your business’s secrets just that — secret.

To address the risk of your data leaving the EU without your consent, we offer several hosting options.

  • Business Cloud and Enterprise Cloud: hosted on our cloud partner OVH, which is France owned and hosted.
  • Enterprise on-premises self-hosted: MirageGPT configured to run in your own existing cloud environment
  • Enterprise on-premises local: If your data is not even allowed to leave your company’s physical perimeter: this version of MirageGPT runs on a physical server on your company premises.

This ensures that the data remains within the jurisdiction that best fits your business needs and within GDPR regulations, completely sidestepping issues associated with data transfers across borders.

But wait there’s more!

MirageGPT isn’t just a data privacy focused alternative to ChatGPT, we offer business focused features, such as a (vector) knowledge base. This allows you to collaborate with MirageGPT on your internal pdfs, word files etc.. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Look out for our next blog post where we dive into the world of possibilities unlocked by these features. From customer service to content creation and more, stay tuned to learn about how MirageGPT is reshaping the AI landscape!
