Big Tech companies are raising red flags with regards to Artificial Intelligence and privacy concerns. In particular, Apple has restricted the use of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has also disclosed that ChatGPT has been on the ban list for months now.
Many well-known corporations are now taking similar precautions, such as Samsung and Verizon in the tech world, and banks including Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman, Wells Fargo, and JPMorgan. This is due to the worry over confidential data leaking from this technology; ChatGPT’s privacy policy is explicit that your provided prompts can be used to train their models, unless one opts out. This serious data leakage possibility seem to be based in truth: a bug in ChatGPT exposed confidential customer data in March.
Apple, one of the largest companies in the world, is a tech giant and manufacturer of iPhone, iPads, computers, and accessories. The company is renowned for its secure and private operating systems and hardware with an intense focus towards consumer safety. Lately Apple has been instrumental in helping with AI advancements such as using AI in its facial recognition software and Siri voice assistant.
