Does anyone else block AI tools like ChatGPT or Zoom notation extensions in their office network? Why or why not?

My team has been debating the risk involved with them but I've been on the fence. I saw this article (that's part ad for Asterisk) on it this morning and it got me thinking about it again.

I mean what are the cons of allowing chat GPT in your network? It could be a very useful tool to a lot of people. What are the risks of leaving chat GPT on your network?

@adhdplantdev The risk as I understand it is compromising confidentiality. Most AI apps, including ChatGPT, use your prompts in their training sets creating a risk for a random end-user pasting confidential information into a prompt. I might be able to argue that in certain compliance/regulation requirements it could be considered an accidental disclosure and require a notice be sent out.

I mean I suppose it comes down to how much you trust your users. I do think it's going to be very very difficult to block out all AI solutions especially since they are now open source AI GPT models. It's a good point about accidentally using confidential information in a prompt, or having the AI recommend code that may be under a toxic license. If you're a massive company there's probably a much higher risk than if you're in a smaller company. I suppose it depends also on your company culture. Either way if you try and block it I would expect there to be a fight to unblock it.
