Co., Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc. either banned or restricted its use during February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same fashion, Italy has also barred the use of ChatGPT over privacy fears, though it reversed its stance in recent days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breaking The Rules Will Result In Termination Of Employment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the latest, the use of generative AI systems on company-owned computers, tablets and phones is banned, as well as on its internal networks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, it does not affect the company\u2019s devices which are being sold to consumers, such as Android smartphones and Windows laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides this, Samsung has urged the employees who use ChatGPT and other tools on personal devices to not submit any company-related information or personal data that could reveal its intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further warning that breaking the new policies could result in being fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the memo, Samsung said,\u201cWe ask that you diligently adhere to our security guideline and failure to do so may result in a breach or compromise of company information resulting in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the company is working on its own internal AI tools for translation and summarizing documents as well as for software development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is also working on ways to block the upload of sensitive company information to external services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, ChatGPT added an \u201cincognito\u201d mode allowing&nbsp; users to block their chats from being used toward AI model training last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further the company memo said, \u201cHQ is reviewing security measures to create a secure environment for safely using generative AI to enhance employees\u2019 productivity and efficiency,\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding, \u201cHowever, until these measures are prepared, we are temporarily restricting the use of generative AI.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a latest development, Samsung Electronics Co. banned employee use of popular generative AI tools like ChatGPT after discovering that its staff uploaded sensitive code to the platform and it had to deal with a setback to the spread of such technology in the workplace.
