The growth, both in quantity and in utility of the different Artificial Intelligence platforms that are appearing, is evident at this time. But not everything is always as pretty as they paint it to be, the risks related to security and privacy are still there, as we will see.
Despite its enormous growth over the last few months, it must be taken into account that most of the AI platforms work online. This means that in one way or another we expose and offer certain personal data in order to use these services, regardless of the way they are used. With this, what we really want to tell you is that the risks of exposing our privacy, as happens with other Internet platforms, are there.
This is something that, for example, the popular security company Check Point wanted to make clear through this discovery that they have made public. It must be taken into account that millions of users around the world make use of different proposals focused on the Artificial intelligence for multiple uses, both professional and personal. A priori, a good part of these platforms, such as the aforementioned ChatGPT, Bard or Bing, ensure that they do not cache the private information that we send.
But with everything and with it at this time the aforementioned security company has already detected several incidents in this regard. For example, they have discovered that the popular ChatGPT has exposed sensitive data due to certain vulnerabilities seen in the current development of these systems. As communicated by the security firm, a provider specialized in this subject, publishes a series of reports about a new vulnerability in the Broad Language Models or LLM of some of these services.
Various AI platforms expose data from their users
Specifically, as disclosed, this vulnerability has been detected in well-known services such as ChatGPT, Google Bard or Microsoft Bing Chat. Here we can add other less popular IA platforms that still use LLM. At the same time, we must bear in mind that more and more developers are making use of these intelligent services to develop the code they use in their projects.
The utility provided by these Artificial Intelligences is beyond doubt in most cases. But we must also bear in mind that these tools can become a major source of data breach. It is precisely for all this that both software developers and users themselves should take certain precautions in this regard. With the growth of different AI platforms, it is increasingly common for us to share certain private and sensitive data.
Basically this means that the risks of leaks through these online services will grow over the years and as their use becomes more and more widespread. But as is usual in other vulnerable online platforms, companies like the aforementioned Check Point will be making available to us different security solutions to continue protecting its millions of customers.
