Apple fears for the security of its projects and takes measures to protect itself!
The arrival of ChatGPT it has reignited fears that machines will one day replace humans in many trades and professions, the list of possibilities of which is long. And while few are related in the tech world, from one of the most important companies in the sector, they don’t want to know anything about the famous tool developed by Open AI, which everyone is talking about.
According to an internal report published by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), since Apple, they have banned their employees from using any generative artificial intelligence, claiming that they cannot be used for work. Everything, despite the fact that for a few days the company has been offering the official ChatGPT application on the iPhone.
ChatGPT is not welcome on Apple
As seen in the document, from Apple, they raised concerns about artificial intelligence platforms that collect confidential data from employees. In addition to ChatGPT, Apple also banned its employees from using the GitHub co-driver, which is owned by Microsoft. With Copilot, developers can automate code writing.
A precedent that likely prompted Apple to formalize its position occurred in March 2023, when a bug allowed users to view the chat history of other ChatGPT users. After this incident, ChatGPT added the option for users to disable their chat history and not contribute to AI model training.
In view of this fact or the possibility of a similar situation, Apple fears there’s no way to ensure the code engineers write doesn’t end up leaking to someone else., or even that the developers behind these apps use them. Or in other processes, like when using ChatGPT to compose emails, for example.
However, this prevention does not only come from Apple. As we knew so far, JPMorgan Chase and Verizon have also restricted the use of these platforms. Amazon instructed its engineers to use its own internal AI tool instead of third-party ones, WSJ sources say.
The report mentions that Apple has also been working on its own model of generative artificial intelligence.although according to related information, it is something in which the company has had several problems, due to the lack of internal unanimity regarding the way forward in this technology.
