Apple fears for the safety of its projects and takes measures to protect itself!
The arrival of ChatGPT it has revived the fear that machines will one day replace humans in many trades and professions, which include a long list of possibilities. And although few are related in the world of technology, from one of the most important companies in the sector, they do not want to know anything regarding the famous tool developed by Open AI, which everyone is talking regarding.
According to an internal report, released by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), since Apple they have prohibited 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 offered the official ChatGPT app on the iPhone.
ChatGPT is not welcome on Apple
As seen in the document, from Apple they have raised their concern regarding artificial intelligence platforms that collect confidential data from employees. In addition to ChatGPT, Apple also banned its employees from using GitHub’s Copilot, which is owned by Microsoft. With Copilot, developers can automate writing code.
A precedent that probably influenced Apple to formalize its position occurred in March of this 2023, when a bug allowed users to view the chat history of other ChatGPT users. After this incident, ChatGPT added the option to allow users to turn off their chat history and not contribute to training the AI model.
Given this fact or the possibility of a similar situation, Apple fears there is no way to ensure that code engineers write doesn’t end up leaking to someone else., or even that the developers behind these applications use them. Or in other processes, such as when using ChatGPT to compose emails, for example.
However, this prevention is not only from Apple. As has been known so far, JPMorgan Chase and Verizon have also restricted the use of these platforms. Amazon has asked its engineers to use its own internal AI tool instead of third-party ones, according to WSJ sources.
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 path to follow in this technology.
