According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple Inc. has implemented restrictions on the usage of ChatGPT and other external artificial intelligence applications for its employees. This move comes as Apple focuses on developing its own comparable technology in the AI field.
The report highlights Apple's concerns about potential data leaks by employees utilizing AI programs. To mitigate this risk, Apple advises its employees against using GitHub's Copilot, a software code automation tool owned by Microsoft.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, recently announced the introduction of an "incognito mode" that ensures users' chat histories are not recorded or utilized to enhance ChatGPT's AI capabilities.
There has been a growing level of scrutiny surrounding the management of user data by ChatGPT and similar chatbots. The extensive user data is commonly employed for the improvement and training of AI systems.
On the same day, OpenAI made the ChatGPT app available for Apple's iOS platform in the United States, expanding its accessibility to a wider audience.
