5 things you should never share with ChatGPT
Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly present in our lives, but certain precautions are necessary to use it wisely.
AI tools like ChatGPT are incredibly useful for various tasks, and as we use them, we learn from them just as they learn from us. However, sharing personal information with these chatbots can pose risks.
What not to share with ChatGPT
Experts warn against sharing sensitive information with AI chatbots. Even companies like OpenAI and Google advise users to avoid inputting confidential data. Here are the five things you should never share:
- Personal Identification Information (PII): Avoid sharing tax IDs, birth dates, addresses, or phone numbers.
- Medical Test Results: If you need analysis, remove personal details before uploading.
- Financial Information: Never share bank account numbers or sensitive financial data.
- Confidential Company Information: Sharing work-related data, like client details or trade secrets, can be risky.
- Login Credentials: Chatbots are not secure vaults for storing passwords, PINs, or access keys.
Additional precautions
AI companies may review messages containing sensitive terms, so it’s recommended to periodically delete chatbot conversations and use incognito mode when browsing.
