Samsung employees leaked confidential data to ChatGPT

Three Samsung employees reportedly leaked sensitive and confidential company data to ChatGPT in three different instances.

Following, Samsung's decision to allow its engineers of the semiconductor division to use ChatGPT, one of the engineers asked the chatbot to check a sensitive database source code for errors.

The other one had asked the chatbot to optimise the given code, whereas the third one had uploaded a recorded meeting to get its meeting minutes generated.

Considering that OpenAI's chatbot can use and share information to train the system and show it to other users, the tech company employees are under hot water.

To avoid further issues, Samsung has limited the use of ChatGPT to a kilobyte or 1024 characters of text and has started an investigation into the matter.
