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.
