Avoid playing with risky AI chatbots
Everything entered into some of the new AI-powered chatbot search bars or websites can become publicly available. Examples of these generative AI chatbot search sites include ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Google Bard, LLaMA and DALL-E2. Additionally, AI websites and browser add-ons are fake and may create security risks for equipment and work networks. Fraudsters and hackers can collect this information to launch phishing campaigns against users and their networks, or to create other targeted security attacks.
Action Steps
State employees should PAUSE before using work devices to access any AI chatbot search site like ChatGPT, Bard, etc. They should VERIFY their use with departmental IT staff.
REPORT any suspicious activity on work devices if you have used these types of chatbot tools.
