Samsung accidentally leaked its secrets to ChatGPT — three times!

Samsung accidentally leaked its secrets to ChatGPT — three times! By Andy Sansom April 5, 2023 Samsung learns a lesson in security It appears that like the rest of the world, Samsung is impressed by ChatGPT but the Korean hardware giant trusted the chatbot with much more important information than the average user and has now been burned three times. The potential for AI chatbots in the coding world is significant and Samsung has, until now, allowed staff in its Semiconductor division to use OpenAI’s bot to fix coding errors. After three information leaks in a month, expect Samsung to cancel their ChatGPT Plus subscription. Indeed the firm is now developing its own internal AI to assist with coding to avoid further slip-ups. One of the leaks reportedly concerns an employee asking ChatGPT to optimize test sequences for identifying faults in chips, an important process for a firm like Samsung that could yield major savings for manufacturers and consumers. Now, OpenAI is sitting on a heap of Samsung’s confidential information — did we mention OpenAI is partnered with Microsoft? While this is quite a specialized case, another instance is something ordinary folk should be wary of. One Samsung employee asked ChatGPT to turn notes from a meeting into a presentation, a seemingly innocuous request that has now leaked information to several third parties. This is something that we should all consider when using ChatGPT and Google Bard, and with AI’s rapid rise, there is little legal precedent to rely on. PLAY SOUND In its Privacy Policy(opens in new tab) (which Samsung hopefully read in full) OpenAI mentions that “when you use our Services, we may collect Personal Information that is included in the input, file uploads, or feedback that you provide to our Services”. OpenAI also reserves the right to use personal information gathered “for research purposes” and “to develop new programs and services.” How secure is ChatGPT? OpenAI makes no secret of the fact that ChatGPT retains user input data — it is after all one of the best ways to train and improve the chatbot. While most of us are unlikely to leak confidential information from a multi-billion dollar company there are also individual privacy concerns. AI chatbots have grown so fast that there is little regulation. This is all the more worrying with Microsoft’s ambitions to integrate ChatGPT into Office 365, a platform millions use at work every day. There are also concerns in the EU that ChatGPT goes against GDPR and Italy has already completely banned it, although this has just driven Italians to VPNs. For now, users will have to use their own judgment and avoid disclosing any personal information when they can. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/samsung-accidentally-leaked-its-secrets-to-chatgpt-three-times

Report: World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China

World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China Published time: 17 Mar, 2019 13:12 ·           A Chinese surgeon has performed the world’s first remote brain surgery using 5G technology, with the patient 3,000km away from the operating doctor. Dr. Ling Zhipei remotely implanted a neurostimulator into his patient’s brain on Saturday, Chinese state-run media  reports . The surgeon manipulated the instruments in the Beijing-based PLAGH hospital from a clinic subsidiary on the southern Hainan island, located 3,000km away. The surgery is said to have lasted three hours and ended successfully. The patient, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, is said to be feeling well after the pioneering operation. The doctor used a computer connected to the next-generation 5G network developed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. The new device enabled a near real-time connection, according to Dr. Ling.  “You barely feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away,”  he said.

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers   BY TYLER DURDEN FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 04:15 AM   A supercomputer is a machine that is built to handle billions, if not trillions of calculations at once. Each supercomputer is actually made up of many individual computers (known as nodes) that work together in parallel. A common metric for measuring the performance of these machines is  flops , or  floating point operations per second . In this visualization,  Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu uses  November 2021 data from  TOP500  to visualize the computing power of the world’s top five supercomputers. For added context, a number of modern consumer devices were included in the comparison. Ranking by Teraflops Because supercomputers can achieve over one quadrillion flops, and consumer devices are much less powerful, we’ve used  teraflops  as our comparison metric. 1 teraflop = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) flops. Supercomputer Fugaku  was completed in March 202

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke
