Reap the Benefits of OpenAI While Reducing the Risks with Adastra

April 5, 2024

In 2023, artificial intelligence officially went mainstream. Whether in the development of AI-generated art, music, photography or writing, discussion over this new technological frontier has dominated the tech space this year.

Among AI applications, ChatGPT has emerged as one of the most well-known and among the most contentious. With its ability to generate text and create copy in a heartbeat, it has proven a valuable tool for businesses. However, its use can invite risks that your organization may not currently be aware of and must understand.

ChatGPT is an open-source, publicly available service, meaning that anyone can update and change its code. It also means that if users are inputting data on behalf of their employer, they may be exposing proprietary or sensitive data to public consumption.

Company data becoming easily available to the public is only one risk of open-source platforms. Unfortunately, because these programs are brand new, many companies do not have the necessary expertise to protect their data or create protocols for using AI in a secure, ethical manner.

However, there are strategies for protecting your organization against these data and security risks. Strong corporate governance is one of them, with clear and effective organizational policies for utilizing ChatGPT and other open-source AI programs. Organizations can also deploy a private instance of OpenAI or ChatGPT installed within their tenants to protect critical data from public exposure.

ChatGPT is a highly useful platform with enterprise potential, but effective usage not only requires effective security and governance, but a clear system for overseeing the platform, tailored to your organization’s data environment, and simplified for your employees to utilize safely.

Adastra will help you close organizational gaps. Deploy ChatGPT within your system under a firewall design for safe, secure and protected organizational use, for both on-premises and within the cloud, with an Architect and OpenAI Lead to ensure that the systems implemented are ready to use.

ChatGPT is an efficient and useful tool for companies of all sizes, though its open-source format introduces numerous risks. Adastra’s solution offers a secure, easy-to-use instance of this platform for your organization to use today.
