Episode 11: ChatGPT and Privacy

Listen

ChatGPT is the hottest topic in technology. It’s impossible to comb through the daily news and not bump into another story about this artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. Yes, we admit, it’s a really cool piece of technology. But what about the privacy implications?

In this episode of Privacy Files, Brian Tillman (Mr. Metaverse) makes another special appearance on the podcast to discuss with Rich the privacy concerns surrounding ChatGPT.

We talk about ChatGPT’s origins and Microsoft’s investment in the parent company, OpenAI.

As the discussion shifts toward the privacy angle, Rich talks about the overwhelming amount of data needed to successfully run such a sophisticated chatbot like ChatGPT.

What data is fair game for ChatGPT to sift through? Will sensitive personal information be searched? Where are the boundaries? What are the applications?
Overall, this discussion will make you think hard about some of the emerging privacy challenges we will face in a world where AI is evolving at a breakneck pace.
