As the artificial intelligence revolution continues to revolutionize the way we work, many organizations are taking steps to leverage its advantages. However, not all organizations are taking a risk and embracing the latest AI technologies. For companies that hold crucial customer data and proprietary code, the use of chatbots like ChatGPT can be a potential security threat. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman recently stated that ChatGPT won’t use external customer information for training, yet companies are still being cautious and putting guards around their sensitive data.
The following companies have made it clear they don’t want their employees using ChatGPT and similar AI-powered applications: PayPal, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Cyberlife, and Oracle. These organizations are taking extra measures to safeguard their proprietary code, customer data, and intellectual property.
PayPal, the global online-payment giant, has taken it a step further and even put restrictions on external contractors. They have made it clear that contractors who are working with the company must not use chatbot tools developed by OpenAI or any other company for any purpose.
Microsoft is another company that is taking a cautious approach, announcing a policy that limits the use of AI tools by their own employees. Employees are not allowed to use chatbot applications developed by OpenAI or any other company, as they could potentially jeopardize Microsoft’s confidential information.
Google is also actively monitoring the use of chatbot applications developed by OpenAI. Employees are expected to use these tools with extreme caution. Apple has gone a step further, and implemented a data protection protocol to ensure customer data is always secure when using AI-powered tools.
Tesla, Amazon, Cyberlife, and Oracle are also taking active measures to ensure the security of their data. All four organizations have issued strict guidelines for the use of chatbot applications and are actively monitoring employee usage.
OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman is the face behind ChatGPT. He has become the leader of the artificial intelligence revolution, focusing on developing AI systems that work responsibly and intelligently. Altman has stated that ChatGPT doesn’t use external customer information for training, but companies are still erring on the side of caution.
