Our use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increased considerably in just a couple of years. ChatGPT, as one of the leading ones, already has 800 million active Users (compared to 2024 which had 120 million), receiving 5.72 billion monthly visits and processing more than 1 billion queries daily. But do we know how to use Artificial Intelligence correctly?
In the last two years, several vulnerabilities have already been detected in car computer assistants, Alexa-type smart speakers and even in ChatGPT itself or similar programs (e.g. Microsoft’s Copilot and Google’s Gemini). These security problems allowed cybercriminals to access conversations held with these technologies, sometimes leading to the theft of highly confidential information. So we should be cautious when using AI.
What you should not do when using devices or programs equipped with Artificial Intelligence:
1. Do not use AI if not expressly authorized by your company or entity and avoid providing corporate information about it, and even less about third parties (customers, citizens, employees, users, patients, guests, residents, etc.).
2. Do not give details about personal data, both yours and third parties’, and do not share your passwords. This is the information most sought after by cybercriminals who attack AI systems in order to impersonate your identity and trick your contacts or loved ones, pretending to be you.
3. Do not share documents with the IA, especially if you cannot censor confidential information (company/entity names, trademarks, designs, logos, etc.) and personal data (names, surnames, IDs, photographs and signatures).
4. Avoid very private or sensitive conversations with the AI., let’s not forget that it is not a friend and not our psychologist, it is a robot used by millions of users worldwide as an intelligent search engine. So we should limit ourselves to making useful but general queries, just as we do when we use the Google search engine. This includes not revealing intimacies, personal problems, information about our or our children’s habits, lifestyle or schedules, financial activities, ideas or projects in progress, original or creative works, source codes of applications we are developing, etc.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We remind you again that if you have the slightest suspicion that you are suffering from a security problem or a malfunction of the AI used, do not hesitate to communicate it to the IT department, so that they can advise you appropriately. And on a personal level he reports the cyberattack to the police authority.
