Aiming to be one of the leading companies in the productive artificial intelligence race, Google introduced its ChatGPT rival chatbot Bard a few months ago. This artificial intelligence tool, which developed over time, could answer any question you wanted. The company also announced all the features that will come to Bard at the I/O event held recently.
Now, a report shared by Reuters has revealed that Google’s parent company Alphabet has a policy for its employees. Accordingly, the technology giant wants its employees to be wary of chatbots on the market. This includes his own chatbot Bard.
Google doesn’t want sensitive information shared with chatbots due to potential leaks
According to the news, citing sources on the subject, Alphabet advises its employees not to share confidential information with models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or its own chatbot Bard. The reason for this is the risk of leakage.
The company does not want its employees to enter sensitive information; because users are likely to view this information. On the other hand, chatbots can also use the inputs to train themselves. This poses a separate risk. Google has not made any official statement on the subject.
Many tech giants are banning their employees from using AI tools due to privacy concerns.
It can be said that this is a legitimate concern. Another technology giant, Samsung, announced that it had a data leak last month. This leak came after Samsung employees used ChatGPT. The South Korean company subsequently banned its employees from using ChatGPT.
On the other hand, a lawyer from Amazon earlier this year called on employees not to share sensitive information with ChatGPT. Likewise, in May, it was revealed that Apple prohibited its employees from using models such as ChatGPT, Bard and GitHub’s Copilot tool for privacy reasons. Of course, it was stated that in addition to privacy, Apple’s decision to develop its own artificial intelligence technologies may have an impact.
