The technology sector can already be defined as ‘Before ChatGPT’ e ‘After ChatGPT‘? That chatbot OpenAI has been rocking the internet for the last few months and now the Amazon had to intervene because its usability has affected the work routines of some employees.
The company is afraid that its employees will share internal codes with the tool and this could have undesirable consequences in the future.
Why does ChatGPT bother Amazon?
O ChatGPT – of which we have widely spoken here on Connected world lately – is a chatbot that uses artificial intelligence and has created many interesting situations. Some of them promising and others very worrying. Thanks to the resources that ChatGPT has access to, it learns very quickly and its fame has grown. This included its use by Amazon employees to facilitate their daily lives, such as responding to the company’s customers, mainly in the division Amazon Web Services (AWS).
According to Insider, one of Amazon’s lawyers urged employees not to use the chatbot to share the company’s internal codes. The request was made through Slack, where he stressed that this must be long so that “no confidential information from amazon”.
This concern from the top echelon of Amazon exists because the artificial intelligence of ChatGPT has already demonstrated that it is able to faithfully reproduce internal content of the company.
“This is important because your inputs could be used as training data for a new iteration of ChatGPT, and we don’t want your output to include or look like our sensitive information.’, he warned.
And this concern proves to be valid, since Insider published a recent article, last Thursday (26), in which it explained that one of the employees submitted the algorithm to a job interview, and he got all the questions right, in addition to suggesting improvements to some company codes. “I was honestly impressed”, reported the interviewer. “I’m both scared and excited to see the impact this will have on the way we conduct coding interviews.”.
ChatGPT applications and other chatbots that have emerged are really wonderful. Some people within Amazon itself recognize that the use of the algorithm has considerably improved the routine of some sectors, increasing their productivity. But to what extent is this really good, not only for the companies, but also for the workers?
