Using AI at Work = Side by Side with Confidential-Info Risk
When you ask AI, what you input is sent to a server. Inputting confidential information while ignoring internal rules/contracts/law leads directly to serious incidents like leakage or violation. First, the minimum security to hold.
Information You Must Not Input (Typical Examples)
- Customer info (name, address, phone, email)
- Unpublished contracts/pricing with partners
- Unpublished financial data/management metrics
- Employees' personal info/HR evaluations
- Unpublished product/technical specs
- Intellectual property (pre-patent ideas)
- Passwords/API keys/tokens
- Medical/health info (personally identifiable)
3 Confirmation Points
1. Terms of Service / Data Policy
Always confirm whether the AI "uses / doesn't use" input data for training (conditions differ by service/plan and can change—check the latest on official pages). General tendencies:
- Paid individual (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, etc.): may be used for training; often can be turned off in settings
