ChatGPT is an international sensation, with businesses utilizing it for content creation, debugging, translation, and writing code. But this AI tool is still unregulated, raising privacy and security concerns regarding data input. Since ChatGPT is easily accessible to the public, what should you consider before implementing it, and how can you mitigate the associated risks?

When adopting ChatGPT for your company, Certified Privacy Professional Jodi Daniels says you should evaluate the tool by conducting due diligence on potential use cases. For instance, a marketing department may want to acquire consumer insights involving personal information. Developing a policy to assess data types and functions, train and educate employees about risks, and regulate information sharing eliminates bias and privacy infringements. 

On this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels share their thoughts on ChatGPT's privacy and security implications. Together, they address the current and future state of AI ethics, the importance of ChatGPT regulations in the absence of federal privacy law, and how businesses can protect sensitive data when employing ChatGPT.
