In today’s digital age, it’s essential to understand the implications of AI and how it can affect your organisation. Particularly with platforms like ChatGPT, which operate using a method called “LLM” or “Large Language Models,” an AI policy is crucial.
Dangers of Sharing Sensitive Information:
LLMs, like ChatGPT, learn from vast amounts of data. When users interact with them, the AI doesn’t store personal data or individual conversations, but it learns from patterns. If employees share sensitive information—like company secrets, personal details, or proprietary methods—the AI could potentially integrate aspects of that knowledge into its general understanding. Imagine the shock if a tidbit of your company’s confidential data appeared in another person’s AI query!
Best Practices and Risk Mitigation Approaches:
In Simple Terms:
Think of the LLM as a super-observant person in a room. If you keep talking about your personal secrets, even if they promise not to remember, they’ll still inadvertently learn things about you that might casually come up in future conversations with others.
Remember, technology is an enabler, but it’s our responsibility to use it wisely. Secure your organisation’s future by being proactive with AI policies.
