Apple has banned the use of ChatGPT-like technology internally, fearing data leaks, according to leaked documents. Employees restricted from using competing tools, as Apple works on its own Large Language Model (LLM).
Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained popularity, but their unpredictable nature and potential for data leakage have raised concerns. Other companies like Amazon and Verizon have also restricted internal use of LLM tools.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple employees are prohibited from using ChatGPT, Bard, or similar LLMs. Anonymous sources suggest Apple is developing its own LLM, but details remain undisclosed.
While ChatGPT and similar tools allow users to disable chat logging, the software's potential for data leaks raises caution among companies like Apple. Protecting proprietary data is a top priority.
The ChatGPT app recently launched on the App Store, but users should beware of imitation apps attempting to scam users. Apple's focus on developing its own LLM technology reflects its commitment to advancing intelligent computing.
