Too much use of ChatGPT gives bosses a bone to pick with workers

Despite concerns that have prompted employers like Microsoft and Google to limit its usage, a Reuters/Ipsos poll indicated that many workers across the US are using ChatGPT to assist with basic tasks.

Companies all over the world are debating how to effectively utilise ChatGPT, a chatbot program that uses generative AI to engage consumers in discussions and respond to a variety of cues. However, security groups and businesses have expressed worries that it can lead to leaks of strategy and intellectual property.

People have reportedly used ChatGPT for things like email composition, document summarization, and completing initial research to assist with their daily work.

When asked if they often use ChatGPT at work, 28% of respondents to an online survey on artificial intelligence (AI) conducted between July 11 and July 17 claimed they do.

The credibility interval, a gauge of precision, for the Reuters/Ipsos survey of 2,625 individuals in the US, was roughly 2 percentage points.

25% of individuals surveyed did not know whether their employer allowed the use of the technology, while 10% of those surveyed claimed that their supervisors specifically forbade the use of external AI technologies.

After its November introduction, ChatGPT rose to the position of app with the fastest growth in history. It has sparked both interest and concern, putting OpenAI, the project's developer, in confrontation with authorities, particularly in Europe, where the firm's extensive data collection has come under fire from privacy watchdogs.
