The US House of Representatives administrative chief, Catherine Szpindor has reportedly set new rules for their staff members about using ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots in the office.
These include using only the paid version of ChatGPT, along with manually set privacy controls only for research and evaluation purposes. The staff are not allowed to use the AI tool in their day-to-day work and are prohibited from feeding any data into the AI model.
ChatGPT Usage Policy at Congress
ChatGPT’s rise has disrupted the tech space today, with many individuals and businesses using the AI chatbot for several daily tasks. While it’s reasonably helpful, the tool has also been controversial in many ways.
Reports that people are unsuspiciously feeding sensitive data to ChatGPT, politicians using it for AI-generated ads and people receiving wrong or hateful advice on life situations – trigger lawmakers to craft rules for the tool’s usage. In this pursuit, the US House of Representatives administrative chief Catherine Szpindor has shared an internal mem, stating restrictions for the staff on using ChatGPT in their office works.
As per Axios, the staff are only allowed to use ChatGPT Plus(a premium subscription of the service), that too for “research and evaluation” only. Barring them from using ChatGPT for everyday work, the memo also states manually enabling the privacy settings to prevent staff from feeding data into the AI model.
Well, this isn’t surprising, though, as we’ve seen several employee cases feeding their company’s proprietary data into ChatGPT for checks, potentially paving the way for data security issues. Thus, to restrict that from happening, Congress has dictated new rules for it’s staff now.
