ChatGPT, an AI tool by OpenAI, has become essential in daily life for tasks like writing emails, asking questions, and content creation, with around 180 million users globally.
While beneficial, users need to heed safety and privacy precautions while using ChatGPT to avoid mishaps like the accidental uploading of sensitive data that led Samsung to ban such AI tools in 2024.
Samsung's decision to ban ChatGPT stemmed from fears of data security breaches and unintended data sharing as seen with an employee uploading sensitive company code to the platform.
Users are urged to use AI tools like ChatGPT responsibly and securely to prevent data mishandling and unauthorized sharing, emphasizing the importance of data privacy awareness.
