🔒 Beware of Privacy Risks of AI Chatbots: Protect Personal Information and Share with Caution

Artificial intelligence chatbots become more powerful as they acquire more user data, but sharing sensitive information poses significant risks. Experts warn that users should avoid entering information such as Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, addresses, birthdays, medical reports, bank account numbers, corporate secrets, and login credentials into tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. Although technology companies state that they do not wish to obtain user privacy and provide relevant warnings, the data entered by users may be used for model training or exposed in the event of a data breach (such as the vulnerability that occurred in ChatGPT in March 2023), a hacker attack, or when required by the judiciary. To protect privacy, it is recommended that users set strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, anonymize medical documents that need to be analyzed, and enterprises should use commercial versions of AI to avoid information leakage (for example, Samsung banned ChatGPT due to employees leaking code). Users can also enhance protection by setting to turn off the use of data for training (some models do not use it by default or provide an option), regularly deleting chat records (usually completely cleared after 30 days), using a temporary chat mode, or accessing AI anonymously through a privacy search engine.
