OpenAI launches data residency in Europe


OpenAI has launched data residency in Europe, allowing European orgs to meet local data sovereignty requirements while using the company's AI products.

OpenAI says that, with European data residency enabled, API requests will be handled in-region by OpenAI with zero data retention, meaning that AI model requests and responses won’t be stored at rest on the company’s servers. When switched on for OpenAI’s AI-powered chat platform, ChatGPT, customer info including conversations with ChatGPT, user prompts, images, uploaded files, and custom bots will be stored at rest in the region, per OpenAI. OpenAI notes that, as of now, European data residency can only be configured for new projects using the company’s API.
