Apple banned employees from using ChatGPT. The reason was revealed - WSJ

Apple has banned its employees from using ChatGPT and other external artificial intelligence tools. The Wall Street Journal reported about it.

Company sources and emails sent to employees confirm this information. Apple is concerned that employees who use such programs may expose users' confidential information. Because the employees will remember all the entered requests and received answers.

Apple's management also told its employees not to use Copilot, a program owned by Microsoft owned by GitHub, which automates the writing of code. At the same time, on May 18, the OpenAI company announced the release of ChatGPT in the AppStore and said that the version of the application for Android OC will also be released.

Introducing the ChatGPT app for iOS! We are already working in the US and will be expanding to other countries in the coming weeks. Android next!” - says the message.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT (Chat generative pre-trained transformer) is an artificial intelligence chatbot created by OpenAI that can answer various questions, help programmers write code, and write coursework for students. The bot can even write poems and essays. The main task of OpenAI is to create an artificial intelligence that can do everything the human brain can do.

FYI, Italy is the first country in the world to ban the use of ChatGPT. The reason for this is that the American company OpenAI, the developer of the chatbot, violated the law on personal data. In particular, it is noted that the neural network does not check the age of users, despite the +13 age limit.
