The Artificial intelligence it became a headache samsung, and the reason is more than reasonable. According to a report from Bloomberg, A data leak from the South Korean company occurred when its employees used ChatGPT-type technology.
Samsung staff, as a way to find a solution in a simpler way, consulted with a ChatGPT-style generative Artificial Intelligence (which one was not specified). To do this, he uploaded a confidential code to the platform.
This data leak hurt Samsung hugely.
In the South Korean company they consider that the data transmitted to Artificial Intelligence platforms are stored on external servers, making it difficult to retrieve and remove.
From there until they can finish being disclosed to other users interested.
Samsung’s memorandum to ban Artificial Intelligence type ChatGPT
samsung sent a statement to its employees by outright prohibiting this type of technology on company computers, tablets, and phones.
“Interest in generative AI platforms like ChatGPT has been growing internally and externally,” said the South Korean company, quoted by Bloomberg. “While this interest is focused on the utility and efficiency of these platforms, there is also growing concern about the security risks posed by generative AI.”
“We ask that you diligently adhere to our security guideline,” Samsung stressed in its memo. “If it is not done, may result in a breach or compromise of company information resulting in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.”
Are we safe using Artificial Intelligence?
Samsung joins a list of companies concerned about security and privacy in Artificial Intelligence. Previously they did JP Morgan, Bank of America and Citigroup.
The bottom line for the South Korean tech giant is that do not submit company-related information or personal data that may reveal your intellectual property. The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence continues, as well as the collateral damage.
