Employees are feeding sensitive data to ChatGPT, raising security fears
We block ChatGPT, as do most federal contractors. I think it’s a horrible exploit waiting to happen:- there’s no way they’re manually scrubbing out sensitive data so its bound to spill out from the training data when prompting the model- OpenAI is openly storing all this data they’re collecting to the extent that they’ve had several leaks now where people can see others’ conversations and data. We are one step away if it hasn’t already happened from an exploit of their systems (that likely weren’t built with security as the top priority as opposed to scale and performance) that could leak a monumental amount of data from users.In the most innocent case they could leak the personal info of naive users. But largely if Linkedin is any indication, the business world is filled with dopes who genuinely believe the AI is free thinking and better than their employees. For every org that restricts ChatGPT use, there are fifty others that don’t, most of which have at least one of said dopes who are ready to upload confidential data at a moments notice.Wouldn’t even put it past military personnel putting S/TS information into it at this point. OpenAI should include more brazen warnings against providing this type of data if they want to keep up this facade of “we can’t release it because ethics” because cybersecurity is a much more real liability than a supervised LM turning into terminator.
