At work with the pressure to provide results and save time when doing tasks such as writing reports or letters AI seems to be the logical choice. However, in the search to make life easy remember to keep in mind these 2 things
The Security
While you upload information such as agenda of meetings, the names of the people present, the matters arising and decisions made onto public AI tools, know that this information may end up on a public domain. This information that you upload and ask to be written up for you in a presentable way is captured and stored in the Ai tool can potentially be exposed to others.
Others can be competitors, scammers and any person that is not meant to see this data but do get to see it as they too use those same tools. Sometimes this information can fall into the hands of people that re-use it for other tasks other than the task you prompted the Ai tool to help you with. Or you may expose your work place to cyber-attacks that can corrupt the data and disrupt the whole system at your work place.
Be careful too that you may be in breach of contract by using unsanctioned tools. So, to avoid this, safe guard your work place information by using only company sanctioned tools at work for your work.
Your Creativity
Ai has meant that we are all increasingly curious about what we can use it for especially in the creative industries, education, health, finances and even, politics. However, the fact is that sometimes these tools include information that is widely found on the World Wide Web and Ai generated.
Ai generated content will be garnered from various search engines as AI tools will rarely, if ever think outside this box. Worse, some tools can contain questionable information and if this information is used in the work you present as your own it can lead to serious repercussions for you. This is because with a quick search, the original source of the information, media or political speech can be found.
If the content you present is found not to originate from you it could be a reputation or possibly a promotion killer. So, remember to use your own creativity as the human trait for now and that is highly appreciated by employers, learning institutions, customers and the general public is creativity. Often times this creativity is celebrated and appreciated with a promotion, fame and for the fortunate a fortune. Stay creative!
