Samsung officially banned its employees from using generative AI tools like ChatGPT over "growing concerns about security risks presented by generative AI." Meanwhile, in Italy, the national ban on ChatGPT was lifted after OpenAI complied with the orders of the nation's privacy regulator's demand for more disclosure and privacy tools.
In a memo viewed by Bloomberg News, Samsung told staff that using AI tools like Google Bard and Bing that store information on external servers would pose a security risk. The ban will apply to its internal networks and company-owned devices such as PCs, phones, and tablets. Last month, it limited the use of the AI chatbot after some staff inadvertently leaked confidential information multiple times.
