Samsung became the latest in a list of major firms to ban the use of generative AI tools in the workplace amid concerns that it could lead to leaks of sensitive information.
Bloomberg, the crackdown was prompted by the discovery of an accidental leak of sensitive internal source code by an engineer who uploaded it to ChatGPT last month.Although the severity of the leak remains unclear, Samsung is concerned that data shared with AI chatbots get stored on servers owned by companies operating the service like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google—with no easy way to access and delete them.
The company also fears that the sensitive data shared with the likes of ChatGPT could end up being served to other users, the report adds. By default, ChatGPT saves a user’s chat history and uses the conversations to train its models further, and while the platform allows users to disable this manually, it is unclear if this option retroactively applies to older chats.Samsung is not the only tech giant to crack down on the use of ChatGPT and similar tools among employees; Amazon issued a similar warning to staffers in January.
