Use of systems Artificial intelligence (Generative AI), e.g. ChatGPTIt worries the senior managers of companies due to the risks involved. possible loss of confidential information and business controland this despite implementation plans and employees already using it in a context where there are not always regulations in this regard.
Generative AI has become a useful tool for companies, allowing processes to be automated and perform a wide range of tasks; however, senior management remains cautious about its implications. Security risks that may apply to the business.
This situation is also reflected in the Kaspersky report conducted among Spanish administrators; this report shows that only 19 percent of total survey respondents discuss implementing rules to control productive AI use.
96 percent believe their employees use such systems regularly, making it necessary for them (95%) to know how employees are using generative AI to protect against critical security risks or data leaks. 64 percent even fear economic losses in organizations.
Another Kaspersky study among business users of productive AI in Spain reveals that 25 percent of those using Chat GPT, the most popular ‘chatbot’ based on this technology at work, do not know what will happen to the data they enter into the tool.
These data reflect the importance of a topic. awareness and regulation by companies To keep your information safe, as ChatGPT can store information such as IP address, browser type and user settings, as well as data on the most used functions, the cybersecurity firm recalls.
However, according to the employees surveyed, almost half of the companies (45.5%) do not have any internal regulations regarding the use of Chat GPT. Of those who implement it, 19 percent say it is not clear enough, 7 percent say the rules are clear but not followed, and only 27 percent say the rules are clear and are followed.
These data contradict the intentions of Spanish managers, because according to the research, half of the managers plan to use productive artificial intelligence in the future and automate tasks with it. 46 percent said they intend to integrate this technology into both their own routines and those of employees (43%) to increase productivity.
Despite all this, 16 percent of Spaniards ChatGPT thinks protecting privacy in the workplace is not important In the questions they asked the chatbot, 31 percent think it is important not to share private data, but they do it anyway.
Risks of ChatGPT
ChatGPT ensures that user-provided information is not shared with third parties. He’s just hiding it improve the platform and provide as accurate answers as possibleIt uses the collected data to improve the language model and fine-tune the user experience as much as possible.
“However, it should be noted that ChatGPT’s privacy policy only refers to the use of data from users registered on that platform, but does not specify anything about the use of personal data that the AI may use from other sources to create the texts it returns,” explains Marc Rivero, Senior Security Researcher at Kaspersky .
Moreover, Cyber crooks are already using this tool to create malicious code or phishing scams‘ as reliable as possible. Therefore, Kaspersky experts recommend avoiding entering sensitive personal and corporate information and confidential data that risks falling into the hands of cybercriminals.
When it comes to companies, they think it is important for companies to create internal rules governing the use of ChatGPT, raise employee awareness about the importance of not sharing certain data, and provide employees with training on cybersecurity.
They also emphasize the need to be careful when receiving links from unknown websites; malicious programs or redirecting victims to phishing sites‘.
Kaspersky also insists that you use a reliable security program that protects against viruses and monitors for data leaks in real time, as the Kaspersky Premium solution does. Manage keys and passwords with a dedicated tool such as Kaspersky Password Manager.
