While offering ChatGPT to Apple customers, Apple Inc has restricted the use of ChatGPT and other external artificial intelligence tools for its own employees, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Apple is developing similar technology and is worried about the leakage of confidential data when employees are using ChatGPT. The ban also includes Microsoft-owned GitHub’s Copilot, which is used to automate the writing of software code. Apple, OpenAI and Microsoft did not respond to Reuter’s request for comment.
