SUMMARY

• Samsung limits employee use of generative AI tools like ChatGPT
• Concerns arise over sensitive company data leaks and security risks
• Companies explore safe ways to utilize AI for productivity and efficiency

Hey there, cool cats! Gather 'round for some tech gossip. Samsung's putting the brakes on their employees using generative AI tools like ChatGPT, after discovering they've been up to no good. You see, the South Korean tech giant noticed some sketchy behavior and decided to temporarily limit the use of these artificial intelligence buddies on their company computers.

Word on the street (well, Bloomberg) is that a few rebellious employees uploaded sensitive code to ChatGPT. Yikes! ChatGPT, developed by US-based OpenAI (which has Microsoft's support), is a wicked AI chatbot that learns from loads of data and serves up answers to users' burning questions. Google's Bard is another AI tool on the block, but both could spell trouble if used to spill company secrets.

Samsung's playing it cool and telling their employees to be cautious when using ChatGPT and similar services outside of work. They've also asked workers to keep personal and company deets on the down-low. Last month, Samsung surveyed their peeps and found that 65% were concerned about security risks when using generative AI services. No wonder they're tightening the reins!

But Samsung's not alone. JPMorgan and Amazon have also reportedly cracked down on ChatGPT use to keep their confidential info under wraps. Despite the drama, companies see the potential in generative AI tools to boost productivity and efficiency, like helping engineers generate computer code faster.

So, while Samsung's throwing some shade on ChatGPT for now, they're still looking for ways to safely harness the power of generative AI. Stay tuned, tech fans!
