The Risks and Benefits of AI Chatbots in Today's Digital World.

The widespread adoption of AI chatbots has raised data privacy concerns among companies, regulators, and industry watchers. OpenAI's ChatGPT, which launched in November, was taken offline temporarily in March due to a bug that allowed some users to see other users' chat history. Companies are concerned about the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information, particularly as more employees adopt these tools to help with work emails or meeting notes. OpenAI and Google have lengthy privacy policies and terms of use, but experts warn that users should not input anything into these tools that they don't want to assume will be shared with others.
