The growing daily use of artificial intelligence applications and interactive chat services is raising serious questions about the security of the data and personal secrets that users share with these digital systems.
Technology reports indicate that the information and text entered by users are typically stored on servers operated by the companies that develop these systems, and are often used to train software models and improve their future capabilities. Despite the existence of privacy policies and data encryption, random human review of samples for quality improvement represents a vulnerability that could expose conversations to human access.
Cybersecurity experts warn against sharing sensitive information or financial and personal data with AI programs. They urge users to review their privacy settings and enable options to disable conversation storage or opt out of training processes in order to prevent data leaks.
