Your boss might not be ready for Chat GPT even if you are...

We are here talking about how useful Chat GPT will be at work, but there is a conflict brewing about whether you should decide to use it at work all on your lonesome.

It might be there are privacy concerns about data involved, your questions might suggest things about your employers intellectual property, or it's just that your sudden dependence on Open AI’s cybersecurity makes someone nervous. You could be an employee using a chat bot now when you really shouldn't be or you could be an executive sitting on top of newly opened abyss of cyber risk you haven't yet mapped out well.

In addition to pointing out this rather prosaic issue in detail, I note...

how we have de facto grandfathered older practices around using Google or similar,

the probably surging value of our chat bot queries as a data asset,

and why these concerns actually relate a lot to privacy-enhancing technologies like homomorphic encryption in particular.
