Artificial intelligence technologies continue to take the internet by storm. A wide range of individuals, from high school and university students to engineers at tech giants, use these tools for cheating or boosting productivity. However, the extensive use of AI also raises security concerns. Chatbots may potentially leak user information, which has led to some bans. For example, Italy banned ChatGPT a while ago, and the service was unavailable in the country for several days. Samsung has now implemented a similar ban, reportedly prohibiting its employees from using generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing due to security concerns. Here are the details…
Samsung Temporarily Restricts Use of AI Tools After Security Breach
The tension between tech companies and artificial intelligence technologies continues. A while ago, Samsung experienced a data leak as a result of some engineers giving confidential information to ChatGPT. Samsung found the solution in imposing comprehensive bans. The tech giant issued a statement to all employees, announcing the ban on popular generative AI tools, including ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing. The bans will be effective starting Monday, and AI tools cannot be accessed using company-owned devices such as computers, tablets, and phones.
However, it would not be entirely accurate to say that Samsung is against artificial intelligence technologies. The company is aware that products like ChatGPT can also be used to escape menial tasks and increase productivity. In its statement on the issue, the company said, “HQ is reviewing security measures to create a secure environment for safely using generative AI to enhance employees’ productivity and efficiency. However, until these measures are prepared, we are temporarily restricting the use of generative AI.”
Unfortunately, ChatGPT and other AI chatbots are a real security concern. With so many people using them, it makes some products more attractive to hackers. That’s why both OpenAI and other developers are continuing their work to address security issues.
