OpenAI is adding a new safety capability that allows enterprises to detect misuse of its AI systems across multiple interactions without retaining prompts or responses, enabling risk monitoring while preserving its Zero Data Retention (ZDR) commitments.

"OpenAI does not retain…prompts or model responses after a request is processed," the company said in a blog post, describing its ZDR approach. The new system, called Private Safety Processing, is "designed to identify patterns across related interactions without giving OpenAI personnel access to the underlying content."
