After Samsung, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and a few other corporations, Apple has banned the use of ChatGPT and similar generative AI chatbots like Bard and Bing, among its employees, as the Cupertino giant plans to develop a similar technology.
Apple is worried that employees who use certain programs may accidentally expose confidential information, reports The Wall Street Journal, citing a document and people familiar with the matter. In addition, the company has informed its employees not to use Microsoft’s Copilot, a tool that automates the writing of software code, as per the same document.
There is increasing concern about how ChatGPT and other chatbots use the data of their users, which are around a hundred of million, to train AI.
In March, OpenAI had temporarily taken ChatGPT offline due to a bug that allowed some users to see the titles from another user’s chat history.
Soon after a ban in Italy and rising scepticism over its data privacy guidelines, OpenAI introduced an option for users to disable their chat history, preventing the AI model from being trained on that data. However, that does not seem a good enough reason for Apple and other corporations to let their employees use AI chatbots.
Owing to security risks, Samsung also prohibited its employees from using AI tools like ChatGPT. The decision came after some employees fed source code to ChatGPT for assistance. Samsung is said to be developing in-house AI tools, and employees must not share company-related information or personal data to any of the third-party chatbots.
Amazon has advised its engineers to use the company’s internal AI tool instead of ChatGPT for coding assistance.
Apple seemingly working on a ChatGPT alternative
Apple is also said to be developing its large language models, suggests people familiar with the matter.
John Giannandrea, a former Google employee, is leading Apple’s AI efforts as a senior vice president reporting to CEO Tim Cook.
During Apple’s latest earnings call with analysts, Tim Cook, the CEO, expressed concerns regarding the progress in generative artificial intelligence.
“I do think it’s very important to be deliberate and thoughtful in how you approach these things,” Mr. Cook said. “And there’s a number of issues that need to be sorted as is being talked about in a number of different places, but the potential is certainly very interesting,” said Cook.
