OpenAI has unveiled a set of enhanced privacy protections for its enterprise customers, signaling a direct challenge to Anthropic's current leadership in data security for AI services. The new measures include stricter data handling protocols and clearer compliance frameworks, designed to give businesses more control over sensitive information processed by OpenAI's models.
