The article highlights the urgent need to recognize that AI, despite its capabilities, can pose immediate risks to businesses by leaking sensitive information. The author recounts a personal experience where an AI assistant inadvertently revealed confidential details about a stealth-mode project linked to him. This incident exemplifies the dangers of assuming the confidentiality of proprietary data shared with AI, especially when the AI generates narratives based on such information, potentially leading to misinformation and reputational damage for individuals.
