Samsung Develops Generative AI for Internal Use Due to Security Concerns

Samsung Electronics is developing its own generative AI solution while temporarily restricting the internal use of ChatGPT and other third-party generative AI tools due to security concerns.

The AI solution under development is being optimized for translation and document summarization. It would be deployed in a secure environment to enhance work convenience and efficiency.

In the meantime, Samsung Electronics is utilizing various AI models for translation, document summarization, and software development support.

When content is entered into generative AI, it is stored and transmitted on an external server, which makes it vulnerable to security breaches. Consequently, it may result in the misuse of confidential company information.

A recent survey by Samsung Electronics’ DX division revealed that many of its employees use ChatGPT for quick information acquisition and work convenience.

Samsung Electronics is also taking additional steps to limit the upload of work-related material to prevent the leakage of private information.

The company has requested that staff members not submit any personal or company-related information and has warned them about the possible dangers of utilizing generative AI on mobile devices outside of the company.

Samsung Electronics' Device Solution (DS) division has reported instances of ChatGPT abuse, including the posting of all company emails and source code.
