Chat GPT: A Boon or a Ticking Bomb for Data Theft?
Chat GPT is rousing the attention of tech enthusiasts and people from around the world. With more than 100 million users, it is already one of the fastest-growing consumer apps in a short amount of time since its release. The AI-powered chatting assistant is supposed to answer almost every question that a user wants to ask.
While on the one hand, Chat GPT has grabbed eyeballs and proved to be a lucrative investment for Open AI, on the other hand, there are some concerns associated with this potentially life-altering application.
One of the biggest concerns raised by experts is data privacy. Are companies focusing on privacy and personal data aspect of technology in this race to produce the best AI assistant for users?
The core of Chat GPT’s functioning involves massive data and self-learning. The software uses a self-learning model to understand complex problems and provide suitable solutions. It ultimately means that whatever data we feed to this system is stored in its database for over. It raises legal concerns and hampers several legal rights, like the right to be forgotten.
In addition, there is a possibility of accidentally feeding sensitive or personal data to the app. It can lead to issues like violation of privacy. There’s no way to know if Chat GPT has stored or deleted any personal information of users. It might cause several privacy rights violations.
The AI assistant also has access to information like IP address and browsing activity that the company can share with third parties for business purposes.
While there’s no doubt that Chat GPT is a revolution for technology and AI, the privacy risks linked to the application cannot be ignored. Experts believe that every technological advancement needs to be designed with a foolproof privacy policy mechanism.
