Recently, Apple has expressed its concerns over privacy by blocking the internal use of Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT. This decision has been met with widespread disagreement among those who value the convenience and power of these AI-driven tools.
ChatGPT, unlike more traditional messaging software such as emails or WhatsApp, is able to remember and use confidential information in its responses due to its language modeling capability. This could lead to the broadcasting of information to an unknown pool of recipients, with no ability to see who is on the receiving end or to control the amount of information being shared. For companies or organizations who rely on protecting confidential information, this risk is too great to take and they would be better off blocking the use of ChatGPT.
While the convenience that ChatGPT could offer is undeniable, its risks to privacy and confidentiality cannot be denied either. Therefore, companies must make a careful risk assessment before deciding if the benefits of ChatGPT outweigh the costs.
