Pakistan declares AI chatbots as security risks

0

The National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) has issued a security advisory regarding the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, highlighting potential risks associated with sensitive data exposure.

The advisory acknowledges that AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, have become increasingly popular for both personal and professional tasks due to their ability to enhance productivity and engagement. However, the CERT warns that these AI tools often store sensitive information, creating a risk of data breaches.

Interactions with AI chatbots may involve private data, including business strategies, personal conversations, or confidential communications, which could be exposed if not properly secured. The advisory stresses the need for a robust cybersecurity framework to mitigate threats related to AI chatbot usage.

Users are urged not to enter sensitive information into AI chatbots and to disable any chat-saving features to reduce the risk of unauthorized data access. The CERT also recommends conducting regular system security scans and using monitoring tools to detect any suspicious activity from AI chatbots.

Organizations are advised to implement stringent security measures to protect against potential data leaks from AI-driven interactions.
