70% of workers use ChatGPT behind their bosses: fishbowl

A survey by fishbowl, an anonymous professional social network used mostly in the United States, found out that a high percentage of the employees now use AI tools such as ChatGPT without their manager’s knowledge.

The respondents of the poll, conducted in January 2003, included staff from companies like Amazon, Bank of America, Edelman, Google, IBM, JP Morgan, McKinsey, Meta, Nike, Twitter and more.

The results showed that 43% of the professionals had used AI tools for work-related tasks, and nearly 70% were doing it without telling their bosses, according to fishbowl.

The BBC also reports that employees use these tools secretly, mostly from personal phones or other devices, and on working-from-home days. 

«Many organizations are concerned their data will be leaked – not only unintentionally training OpenAI algorithms with sensitive information, but also potentially surfacing corporate secrets to competitors’ prompts, says Simon Johnson, head of the global economics and management group at MIT Sloan School of Management, in Massachusetts, US.», quoted in the article for BBC by Alex Christian.

Amazon now requires to declare AI-generated content

The giant book retailer has introduced a new set of content guidelines that independent authors and publishers should comply with in order to sell their books on its marketplace:

It requires declaring any AI-generated content (text, images, or translations) when a new book is published or when making edits to and republishing an existing one through the service KDP. Authors and publishers are not required to disclose AI-assisted content.

Amazon distinguises between AI-generated and AI-assisted content as follows:

  • AI-generated: We define AI-generated content as text, images, or translations created by an AI-based tool. If you used an AI-based tool to create the actual content (whether text, images, or translations), it is considered «AI-generated,» even if you applied substantial edits afterwards.
  • AI-assisted: If you created the content yourself, and used AI-based tools to edit, refine, error-check, or otherwise improve that content (whether text or images), then it is considered «AI-assisted» and not “AI-generated.” Similarly, if you used an AI-based tool to brainstorm and generate ideas, but ultimately created the text or images yourself, this is also considered «AI-assisted» and not “AI-generated.” It is not necessary to inform us of the use of such tools or processes.

Amazon indicated that the responsibility of verifying the origin of the content and its compliance with intellectual property rights lies with the author or publisher.

And we have to consider that we’re building it for humans.»

She says the artificial intelligence has the ability to «hallucinate,» which means give incorrect information. She says humans need to be there to double check and correct the work produced by it.
