Three Tips for Using AI Efficiently and Securely

OpenAI’s ChatGPT-an AI-powered Chatbot- was released in November 2022 and had 100 million users as of January 2023, making it the fastest growing application in history. ChatGPT suffered a data leak three months later due to its own bug. The leak has sparked a heated debate about the safety of the service and the potential damage it could cause. In reality, ChatGPT is unlike any other software. He needs access to an exceptional amount of data for his machine learning (ML) algorithms. Of course, the question is whether he is able to protect this data.

AI security issues

It is important to understand that AI-based technologies are by no means inherently safe. As revolutionary as they are, the risks may outweigh the benefits in their early stages.

The current AI security problems fall mainly into two categories: information security and privacy and cybersecurity.

As mentioned earlier, AI-powered services require unprecedented access to huge repositories of data. Without this, machine learning becomes obsolete due to the lack of information for accurate forecasts or data outputs such as articles, software code, personalized recommendations, etc.

Not even six months outside, and ChatGPT has already proven a data breach. At the same time, as Samsung employees can testify, entrusting this Chatbot with your company’s sensitive data could be the worst idea.

Hackers have been looking for access to company secrets for decades, and artificial intelligence software could be until it is sufficiently secure. An important question is the novelty of these services. It is positioned up to date, but requires access to the most critical data.

From a cybersecurity perspective, AI-powered technology is already being used for nefarious purposes. Forbes reports that we need to prepare for a huge increase in phishing scams and their quality. Language barriers often ruin phishing attempts, with cybercriminals struggling with the English language and online translators doing mediocre work at best.

Current AI text generators and translation platforms like Centus give almost perfect results. Of course, so far you cannot replace a text written by man or translated creatively. On the other hand, phishing often targets older Internet users who are not as skeptical about email as the younger generations. A grammatically correct text with a first and last name and some personal information could be enough to convince you to click on a contagious Backlink.

With this in mind, we are going to describe three tips for using AI safely in your current state. Finally, the benefits it offers are excellent, so here’s what you can do to be on the safe side.

Don’t cut off human monitoring

One of the main principles of AI technologies is automation. Using ChatGPT to generate content is acceptable. However, it is risky to publish it without human supervision.

ChatGPT has proven many times that there can be wrong answers and support them. CNET’s attempt to publish 100% AI-written content resulted in five inaccuracies being hastily corrected. Mathematical errors do not inspire confidence but imagine what would happen if such texts were published on health news websites.

Using AI software to generate content is an effective way to produce ideas or overcome small writer’s blocks. However, according to the text, it is risky to provide you with the information. Every fact needs to be double-checked, and the same goes for software code or Bing chat responses.
