ChatGPT Warning: Change This Setting To Protect Your Business Data And Privacy
Your ChatGPT chats are not private. Unless you toggle off a specific setting in your account, everything you write into a ChatGPT chat can be used to train its models. You might not think this is a big deal. But if you're using ChatGPT for business strategy, client work, or anything involving proprietary information, you're essentially handing over your competitive advantage to train AI that your competitors will use. Here's what's happening. Every prompt about your pricing strategy. Every client problem you're solving. Every innovative idea you're testing. It all becomes training data unless you take action. The setting you need to change is called "Improve the model for everyone." Sounds nice, right? Community-minded. Helpful. But when you're running a business, being helpful to everyone includes being helpful to your competition. And giving away your trade secrets and strategies. Think about what you've already shared. Business plans. Marketing strategies. Client challenges. Financial projections. Product ideas. All of it could be sitting in OpenAI's training data right now. How to stop ChatGPT training its models on your chat data The one setting to change is this. Turn off "Improve the model for everyone.' After that, your chats stay private. Your business information remains yours. Your strategy stays secret. I learned this the hard way when I first used ChatGPT in November 2022. After prompting it with concepts from an article I'd written, multiple sentences from my original piece appeared on screen. That's when it hit me: ChatGPT trains on everything it can access, and now it trains on your private business conversations too, unless you stop it. Even if OpenAI says they anonymize data, that's not the point. Your unique frameworks, your specific solutions, and your way of solving problems is your intellectual property. Why risk it? On the Web (Signed-In) On Mobile Once disabled, this setting applies across all devices linked to your account. Your chat history remains accessible, but your conversations won't be used for model training. For extra protection, use temporary chats. Enable Temporary Chat Mode to prevent chats from being saved in your history and used for training. These chats only last several hours and aren't used for model improvement. They don't appear in your archive and they're hard-deleted after 30 days. Change this ChatGPT setting to protect your private information Every entrepreneur I know is using ChatGPT. Smart move. But most haven't thought about data privacy and that's where they're vulnerable. Your business runs on proprietary information. The way you structure proposals. How you handle objections. Your unique coaching frameworks. The specific language that converts prospects to clients. All of this is gold, and you're giving it away for free. You can still use ChatGPT for everything you need. Write proposals. Create content. Solve problems. Build strategies. But with this toggle on the right setting, your data stays yours. You wouldn't leave your business plans on a park bench. Don't leave them in ChatGPT's training data. Go change this setting before you input another client name, another revenue figure, another strategic insight. Protect your IP.

TSMC Faces Internal Security Breach as AI Chip Tech Leaks Surface
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) is one of the . On August 5, Reuters reported that authorities have detained three people in Taiwan for allegedly stealing technology trade secrets from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. The individuals were detained late last month after TSMC reported findings from an internal investigation which had shown that former and current employees had illegally obtained information from them. Andrey_Popov/ According to the prosecutor's office, another two people have been released on bail, while one more has been released. Meanwhile,the three individuals detained include one former employee and two current staff members. TSMC announced that it has launched legal proceedings and taken disciplinary action against employees who are involved in potential trade secret leaks. The incident has come to light during routine monitoring through the company's 'comprehensive and robust monitoring mechanisms.' Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) manufactures and sells advanced chips used in artificial intelligence applications.

TSMC employees arrested, could face up to 12 years in jail, $3 million fine over alleged attempt to leak 2nm chip details — first case under Taiwan's amended National Security Act cites 'serious suspicions of violating national security laws'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Two employees of major semiconductor manufacturer and design company TSMC, as well as one former employee, have been arrested over claims they stole proprietary technology, according to the Financial Times. This is the first trade secrets case to be filed under Taiwan's new national security law, which is designed to clamp down on the sale and theft of trade secrets of "national core technologies," from the country's hugely important chip design sector. Taiwan is home to much of the world's chip design and fabrication infrastructure, headed by TSMC's cutting-edge facilities and intellectual property. In recent years, it has leapt ahead of traditional rivals Samsung and Intel and now produces most of the world's most advanced silicon. That makes it a key target for IP theft, however, and over the years, TSMC has struggled with engineers defecting to competitors and taking trade secrets with them. To that end, Taiwan amended the National Security Act in 2022 to include specific charges for economic espionage related to national defence, aerospace, agriculture, semiconductors, and information security. It's this law that the pair of engineers and a third suspect have been caught by. While FT reports that two of the trio are former employees, Reuters reports that of the three who have been detained, two are current staff members, while one is a former employee. Confusion could stem from the fact that TSMC has fired the workers involved. According to Bloomberg, the number of people arrested could be as high as six. The Taiwan High Prosecutors Office website is currently offline, lending to the confusion. TSMC allegedly discovered the leaks as part of its own internal auditing, before it forwarded the complaint to the authorities. THIP has since conducted a robust investigation, questioning a number of suspects and witnesses, and searching their residences and places of work. That includes a seemingly unaffiliated Japanese chip tool maker, Tokyo Electron. The suspects were arrested on 'serious suspicions of violating national security laws." It's alleged that they were attempting to leak details on TSMC's cutting-edge 2nm chip development, which puts them well within the sights of the National Security Act, which has specific restrictions on the leaking of semiconductor technology at the sub-14nm scale. Smaller process nodes offer greater efficiency and performance, as they allow the packing of more transistors into the same physical footprint. However, the smaller you go, the harder manufacturing becomes, which is why there's such an economic arms race to produce the most compact silicon wafers possible. TSMC is at the forefront, with Chinese firms Huawei Technologies Co. and Semiconductor Manufacturing International now beginning to fabricate silicon at around 7nm. Samsung and Intel are much closer, but they don't have anywhere near the reputation or customer bases of TSMC, which produces some 90% of the world's most advanced silicon. TSMC couldn't be drawn to discuss the case further, but stated that: 'We will continue to strengthen our internal management and monitoring systems and will work closely with relevant regulatory authorities as necessary to protect our competitive advantage and operational stability.' Punishments for transgressions under the amended National Security Act can include up to 12 years in jail, as well as a fine of up to NT$100 million (over $3.3 million U.S.).
