Big Takeaway: Last week, Microsoft temporarily blocked employee access to ChatGPT over security concerns.
The restriction came the same day OpenAI announced a DDoS attack causing outages.
Microsoft called “ChatGPT a third-party risk” for privacy and security in an internal note. Despite investing $10 billion in OpenAI and becoming majority owner, it sounds like friendly fire to me 🤔
But Microsoft then called the blockage an “error” during a test of AI control systems. But Microsoft still encourages the use of its own Bing Chat Enterprise for more security.
