A month after internal, sensitive data from Samsung was accidentally leaked to ChatGPT, Samsung is cracking down on usage of the generative AI service. The electronics giant is planning a temporary block of the use of generative AI tools on company-owned devices, covering computers, tablets, phones, as well as non-company-owned devices running on internal networks. The ban would cover not just ChatGPT, but services that use the technology like Microsoft’s Bing, as well as competing generative AI services like Bard from Google.

The impending ban was initially reported by Bloomberg. The rule would only apply to devices issues by Samsung to its workers — meaning consumers and others that own Samsung phones, laptops and other connected devices would not be impacted. It’s not clear if it is effective already or if not when it would take effect.
