Users Gain Control with ChatGPT Data Collective - The ChatGPT Data Collective, launched with Vana, allows users to own and control their chat histories with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. By uploading data, users receive $GPT tokens to influence how their data is used and shared, addressing privacy concerns and shifting control back to individuals.
Structured as a community-led decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), the initiative promises transparency and privacy. It offers users insights, rewards, and governance over their contributions, ensuring they have a say in AI training data management.
