OpenAI has added more business-focused controls to its Enterprise subscription for ChatGPT in a bid to help tackle companies’ biggest concerns.

The updates focus on compliance, data security and scaling access to generative AI while also tackling the broader issue of meeting various stringent requirements across regulated industries globally.

Key to the update is the Enterprise Compliance API, which helps ensure alignment with standards like GDPR, HIPAA and FINRA.

ChatGPT just got even more Enterprise controls

The Enterprise Compliance API provides users with a detailed and time-stamped record of all interactions, including conversations, uploaded files and metadata, which can be used for auditing.

OpenAI also introduced third-party integrations with Forcepoint, Global Relay, Microsoft Purview, Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Relativity, Smarsh and Zscaler, which can be used for things like data archiving, audit trails, redaction, retention and policy enforcement. The San Francisco-based organization committed to working with more partners in the future, hinting at the expansion of its support for third parties.

As well as compliance features, OpenAI will also roll out an identity management system to make managing users easier for IT admins. The System for Cross-domain Identity Management, currently in beta, will work with “most company directories,” including Okta Workforce, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Ping.

The final control upgrade for ChatGPT Enterprise customers is more granular control over custom GPTs. Admins will now be able to create lists of approved domains, rather than completely allow or block the use of GPTs.

In an expression of commitment to privacy and security, the company affirmed that no customer data or metadata is used for training models, and that data is encrypted both at rest and in transit.

The business-focused subscription is now believed to boast more than 600,000 users, with cheaper subscriptions for SMBs and consumers also available for monthly fees.

Choosing the best photos for your dating profile can be tough, so Tinder created a virtual curator to help you out. The artificial intelligence-powered Photo Selector will analyze your shortlist of potential photos directly from your phone and suggest those its model predicts would present you at your best.

To use the feature, a Tinder user takes a selfie for the AI to know what they look like, then permits the app to look at photos on their phone. The AI model picks out images for the user to review and decide whether to add them to their profile. Photo Selector is coming first to Tinder users in the U.S. this month, with international rollouts later this summer.

Tinder hopes the AI tool will smooth the path for setting up a dating profile. According to its own Online Opinion survey of young single people, 52% struggle to pick a profile image for dating apps, and single people under 25 spend 33 minutes on average picking a photo for their dating app profile. Perhaps it’s unsurprising then that 68% of them welcome the idea of AI assistance in picking their photos.

Though Tinder doesn’t outright say so, the study did suggest straight men in particular need the help. Straight single women find profiles with at least four images highlighting a man’s personality more attractive, and more than one face photo ups a guy’s chance of matching by 71%. 

“We’re proud to be the first dating app to roll out an AI tool that can make the profile-building experience significantly easier -- an area we know is one of the hardest parts of dating,” Tinder CEO Faye Iosotaluno said in a statement. “As the category leader, we’re pushing ourselves to define the industry’s best use cases for meaningful consumer AI integrations,” 

Discreet AI

Tinder didn’t make much of any privacy issues with regard to the new feature, even though access and use of personal photos with AI models may make some nervous. Users might inadvertently expose sensitive or private images by granting the app access to their camera rolls. The company has data protection policies and security measures in place, but when it comes to something as intimate as photos for dating apps, it’s easy to imagine some hesitating without enough transparency and trust regarding how the images are used, stored, and protected.

That’s on top of the facial recognition element. While it is necessary to curate the photos successfully, the biometric data involved is arguably even more sensitive. Tinder may have to make an extra effort to assure users their data is anonymized when the AI processes it and that it’s not shared with third parties. Still, as AI assistants and related tools become more ubiquitous, ones that help people’s online profiles pop, whether on dating apps or anywhere else, will likely become very common.

“As demonstrated by our Photo Selector feature, we’re developing AI tech to assist you in making decisions, not to make them for you,” Iosotaluno said.

Latest Tech News

Back in 2021, Samsung announced the industry’s first High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) based DDR5 memory, the use of which doubled the speed of DDR4 while reducing energy use by 13%, with Samsung’s DDR5 stacking eight layers of 16Gb DRAM chips to offer a whopping 512GB capacity.

Fast forward to 2024, and at Computex, ServeTheHome came across the Gigabyte R283-ZK0 motherboard, shown above. Integrating the maximum number of DIMM slots into servers, specifically those using modern configurations with 12 DDR5 channels per CPU socket and two DIMMs per channel (totaling 24 DIMMs per socket), presents significant challenges in terms of both ensuring the DIMMs function correctly together and managing the physical space required to fit all these components inside the server chassis. This is a problem the Gigabyte R283-ZK0 motherboard skillfully addresses.

This powerhouse is not just another server board, it packs in 48 artfully arranged DDR5 memory slots, allowing for up to 24TB of RAM when equipped with Samsung's 512GB DDR5 modules.

Twisted slots

From the outside, the R283-ZK0 resembles a typical 2U server with its 12x 2.5-inch hot-swap NVMe/SATA/SAS drive bays and a large fan wall, but the magic is revealed once you remove the lid. Inside, the server reveals a CPU slot positioned at the back, just in front of some PCIe risers. But the real marvel is above the system where the motherboard stretches out with an impressive array of 24 DDR5 RDIMM slots per CPU - totaling 48 slots in a dual second-gen AMD EPYC 9004 series setup.

As ServeTheHome’s Cliff Robinson says, "To fit this many DIMMs, the CPUs cannot be aligned next to one another. Instead, there are staggered sets of 6-2-4-4-2-2-4 DIMM slots. The slots are twisted on the motherboard at an angle to allow for some overlap of the slots and sockets." It's an impressive piece of engineering for sure.

Other features of the Gigabyte R283-ZK0 include dual 10Gb/s LAN ports (Intel X710-AT2), one PCIe Gen5 x16 FHFL (full-height, full-length) slot, and one OCP 3.0 Gen5 x16 LAN mezzanine slot for use with network cards.

The best sports movies aren't just about sports. Take the recent movie of the day Rocky for example: it's about working class pride, about love and about overcoming adversity, so it's more than just a boxing movie. And the same applies to The Long Game, because while it's an uplifting underdog story set around the game of golf it's also about some of the toxic attitudes prevalent in the 1950s.

• Watch The Long Game on Netflix

An uplifting sports movie based on a true story

The Long Game is based on the true story of five Mexican American high school students who were banned from playing golf in the 1950s by an all-white Texan country club. Refusing to take no for an answer, they built their own course, formed their own team, and became state champions.

As Variety put it: "Winner of an audience award at the 2023 SXSW film fest, The Long Game is an utterly predictable yet thoroughly engaging period drama." It's "appealingly told with sincerity and taste," says RogerEbert.com, while the Hollywood Outsider says that "The Long Game is an emotional crowd-pleaser".

While few critics can fault the heart of the film, many felt that it could have been more focused: Collider said that "while the book this film is based on, Mustang Miracle by Humberto G. Garcia, certainly documents an impressive story of an underdog overcoming odds, the film doesn't quite reach the heights it's trying to... It juggles too many things and ends up dropping the ball." While the movie does address racism head-on, "it struggles to find balance and nuance along the way".

The result is "a gently rousing family-friendly drama," The Hollywood Reporter says. It "could have used more topspin, but [it's] a winning round nonetheless", which is why it makes the cut for our best Netflix movies list.

Vaio has announced the Vision+ 14 portable monitor as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations.

The Vision+ 14 weighs just 325g, equivalent to 0.72 pounds, and features a 14-inch, 1920x1200, 16:10 aspect ratio display. The screen boasts properties such as 400 nits of brightness, wide viewing angles, anti-glare technology, and a wide color gamut.

The monitor isn’t just light; it’s also incredibly slight - it measures just 3.9mm at its thinnest part. The back panel of the main unit is made of 3D molded carbon, making it both lightweight and strong. It comes with a solid metal kickstand for easy use alongside PCs or laptops, particularly in compact workspaces, and comes with a cover stand.

Extra screen for laptops

The monitor, which Vaio is proud to stress is made entirely in Japan, comes with dual USB Type-C ports that support PD pass-through and DP-Alt. It is priced at 54,800 yen, approximately $340 including sales tax. There are two versions - one for consumers and another for businesses. There doesn’t seem to be any difference in the models however, just the option for firms to bulk buy at reduced rates.

We’ve reported on a couple of laptops with dual screens in recent months, including the GPD Duo and the Acemagic X1, suggesting it could be a trend for 2024. If you like the idea of a laptop with twin screens stacked above each other, but don’t want to spend money on a new PC, the Vision+ 14 could be the percent solution as the included cover stand will allow it to sit above your existing screen.

Vaio says the Vision+ 14's thin and light design addresses the issue highlighted in a company survey that found 50% of people said a sub-display is a necessary device for hybrid work, and of those, over 40% said they had issues with portability.

Once a division of Sony, Vaio was sold off in 2014 when the PlayStation maker decided to exit the PC market. Since then, Vaio has continued to make products in Japan and has recently begun exporting its line of computers to markets like the US and Brazil.

Latest Tech News

Many mini PCs are becoming increasingly popular because they offer the power of a regular computer in a much smaller package, making them great for people who don't have a lot of space or who need a portable solution that they can easily take with them on the go. 

One of the more unusual mini PCs we've come across lately is the Meenhong JX5, which stands out because it looks like a smartphone and runs Windows 11, bringing to mind Microsoft’s failed Windows Phone experiment.

The JX5 has a sturdy aluminum body and a 5.5-inch touchscreen with FullHD (1920x1080) resolution. The screen is big enough to be usable, but you may struggle to read smaller text or interact with some on-screen elements. At 161mm tall and 92mm wide, it’s a little larger than an iPhone 15 Pro Max, but considerably thicker. A chunk of the 23mm depth is down to the inclusion of a cooling fan.

Limited battery life

It’s another mini PC powered by an Intel N100 processor with Intel UHD Graphics. It comes with up to 12GB LPDDR5 4800MHz soldered-in RAM and you can buy it on AliExpress where it goes under the SZBOX brand. The barebone model with no SSD and no OS sells for $220. If you opt for the top version, with a 2TB SSD, the price rises to $356.32.

The Meenhong JX5 has WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, a full USB Type-C port, a USB-A 3.0 port, two USB-A 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. There’s no SD card slot, though. It’s able to power two additional screens at 4K@60fps, so you can use it for a three-screen setup.

We’ve covered its predecessor, the Meenhong JX2, before, and while that device was intriguing, the lack of a battery massively limited its portability. The JX5 does have a battery, but it’s a 1500 mAh model, so you’re going to be looking at about an hour’s use between charges. Like the JX2, it doesn’t have a webcam either, which seems like a strange omission. Although the JX5 runs Windows 11, you can opt for a Linux OS if that better suits your needs.

This mini PC brings to mind similar products like HiGOLE's tablets, the GOLE1 and GOLE1 Plus, both of which we've reviewed here before.
