Listen "AI: chatbots, cut and paste, and data leaks"
Episode Synopsis
Our guest for this episode is Tim Freestone, of Kiteworks. He’s a long-standing expert in data protection and data privacy. And he's been following the growth of AI, and what it means for data privacy, security and confidentiality.
Even data specialists have been surprised by the rapid take up of generative AI and its benefits. But do we have the measure in place to guard against the potential security risks it brings?
It is not just malicious hackers who make AI tools such as chatbots a risk. Even something as simple as pasting information into a generative AI tool can cause problems. And he argues that we need to apply security's zero trust approach to AI too.
