The California multinational fears that confidential information shared by users with these systems could be unintentionally leaked. Language models like those powered by ChatGPT are trained to interact with human users, thus responding to their queries to render any type of text. To enhance each “conversation”, program ‘learns’ everything that users write. This means that if you ask about confidential material, you can reproduce it to other users.
Other restrictions
