Description:
Despite being banned left and right, ChatGPT is growing more popular, but 
does it pose a security risk?

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Many bosses have begun banning ChatGPT and other generative AI tools out of 
fear of data leaks and similar cybersecurity incidents, a new report 
suggests. 

Enterprise generative AI platform Writer recently polled 450 executives at 
large enterprises, to gauge their opinion with regards to AI-powered 
generative chatbots, finding almost half (46%) believe someone in their 
company may have inadvertently shared corporate data with the tool. 

While ChatGPT can only use data created until September 2021, this may very 
well change in the future, not to mention that other tools might not have 
this kind of contingency set up. That means that the tools could use 
sensitive data in its learning models, and later share them with other users. 
Consequently, the companies whose sensitive data was shared could end up 
being chased by data security watchdogs for the leaks. That being said, 
ChatGPT was banned by 32% of the respondents, followed by CopyAI (28%) and 
Jasper (23%). Love and hate 

But the tool is still extremely popular. Almost half (47%) use ChatGPT at 
work every day (CopyAI is used in 35% of cases, and Anyword in 26%). They use 
it in different departments, from IT (30%), to operations (23%), from 
customer success (20%), to marketing (18%), from support (16%) to sales and 
HR (15%). 

Most of the time, the tools are used for copy, including ads, headlines, 
blogs, knowledgebase articles, and similar. Read more

Furthermore, most firms dont plan on sticking with the free version for long, 
as 59% said they purchased (or plan to purchase) at least one such tool this 
year. A fifth (19%) are using five or more generative AI tools. They see 
productivity boost as the tools key selling proposition, as it improves 
employee productivity, generates higher-quality output, and saves on costs. 

Enterprise executives need to take note. There is a real competitive 
advantage in implementing generative AI across their businesses, but its 
clear theres a likelihood of security, privacy and brand reputation risks, 
said May Habib, Writer CEO and co-founder. 

We offer enterprises complete control  from what data LLMs can access to 
where that data and LLM is hosted. If you dont control your generative AI 
rollout, you certainly cant control the quality of output or the brand and 
security risks. These are the best firewalls right now
