Samsung banned the use of generative AI like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard after employees of one of the company’s largest divisions allegedly uploaded internal source code to ChatGPT’s servers. The information comes from a Bloomberg report.

Samsung announced the new policy in an internal memo to employees. Prohibits the use of generative AI systems on company-owned phones, computers, or tablets, as well as on the internal network. Samsung also asks employees not to disclose company information with ChatGPT or similar services through their personal devices.

As part of its reasoning, Samsung points to the fact that these AI platforms use external servers to store some if not all of their data and would be difficult to secure or delete. Employees will be subject to disciplinary action and will lose their jobs if they fail to comply with Samsung policy.

Samsung is the latest in a string of high-profile companies to do so: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Bank of America and Citigroup have all banned or restricted the use of ChatGPT for privacy reasons.

Bloomberg also notes that Samsung is working on its own AI tools for document translation and summarization, as well as software development.
