Funnily enough our company will start to roll out an internal ChatGPT UI with an agreement with Azure on not to use the data for training etc, where we would be allowed to share internal data.

How would you recognize if they use your data?

Exactly, can your lawyer or legal department ask for documented proof that you did not contribute to training data?

Which works perfectly fine until someone leaks the fact that NSA have full access to those documents, and occasionally will provide help to a few US companies that are seen as important to the nation.

Do you have any example of your claim about providing help?

It is hopelessly naive to question this, however some random documented examples in recent times: The NSA got the german BND to spy on european company Airbus. [1] Then there was the Snowden leaks that revealed for example that the NSA was spying on an Brazilian oil company. [2] Then there is the well known case of Shell infiltrating the Nigerian government who then asked the US to spy for them on rival company Gazprom, which was revealed by the diplomatic cable leaks.

Companies banning the use of ChatGPT level tools going forward will find the rules either flouted, subverted or the employees going elsewhere. Of course there is a duty on employees to be professional - the latter will be the ones taking up opportunities at non-legacy/dinosaur corporations that think they can command the waves. The answer is to sort your processes, security and training out - new AI is here to stay,…

Lol, going where exactly? Every big company has blocked or restricted ChatGPT from the day it became available.

Why? Companies typically have many rules that they expect employees to follow. Why would employees disregard these particular rules, or even quit because of them?

Even if you do O365 with EU hosted instances?

Obviously Yes.

I'm not suggesting the concerns aren't valid, but I guess I don't understand why this same principal isn't applied to other internet connected / cloud software? Do these companies worry that web browsers like Chrome could leak data or applications like Google Docs?

What is it about an AI chat bots that makes the risk of a data leak so much higher? Is something about OpenAI's ToS? Or it's relative infancy?

Data that you send in is used to train the model again later. Companies are happy for their competitors data to show up, but not so much their own.

"Everyone" is exaggeration at best.

It kind of boggles my mind that there are people who arent using LLMs yet. Sure its not everyone, but the people who arent using them are signaling a major red flag IMO. They are resistant to change, even if they don't understand the technology, what else are they resisting from their managers/leadership team? Further, I think of the people in my life who have refused to even try it, they all seem to have a screw or…

> It kind of boggles my mind that there are people who arent using LLMs yet.

maybe it is easier to go through actual verified information than to double check everything an AI says.

I only use LLMs to restate information that I can half piece together so I can remember the missing bits (like a math proof or derivation), or to point me to recommendations of actual resources. And even those two things i am very wary off.

Pretty much the thought-devoid "It's new, so it must be good!" argument people have been pushing for centuries, whether it's music or technology or politics or fashion.

If my employees are leaking company information through ChatGPT, I'm happy to have them go work for my competitors and leak their information, instead.

That’s because OpenAI can use any data that you send to chatgpt for training purposes. [0] They don’t do it with their APIs btw.
