Google sceptical of AI: Google doesn’t trust its own AI chatbots, asks employees not to use Bard

It seems that Google doesn’t trust any AI chatbot, including its own Bard AI bot. In an update to its security measures, Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company has asked its employees to keep sensitive data away from public AI chatbots, including their own Bard AI According to sources familiar with the matter, Alphabet Inc, the parent organisation of Google, is advising its employees to be cautious when using chatbots, including its own program called Bard, even as it continues to promote the software globally. Google has engaged in detailed discussions with Ireland’s Data Protection Commission and is addressing regulators’ inquiries following a Politico report suggesting the postponement of Bard’s launch in the European Union this week due to concerns about the chatbot’s impact on privacy. In line with privacy concerns, Google’s updated privacy notice on June 1 explicitly advises users not to include confidential or sensitive information in their conversations with Bard. Both Google and Microsoft offer conversational tools to their business customers, which come with a higher price tag but avoid incorporating data into public AI models.
