#AI tools are increasingly #requesting excessive access to #personaldata, which is not normal and should not be normalised. This access, often unnecessary for the tool’s function, poses serious #securityrisks and #privacyrisks. Users should carefully consider the cost-benefit of granting such access. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/19/for-privacy-and-security-think-twice-before-granting-ai-access-to-your-personal-data/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

🚨 Uncover the alarming findings on ChatGPT's data memorization risks and the urgent need for enhanced AI security measures 🔒
Recent research has unveiled a critical vulnerability in large language models like ChatGPT: "Retrievable memory" - the ability to store and recall sensitive data from training sets. 📝🔍
Despite undergoing special alignment processes, ChatGPT was found to reproduce specific data fragments from its training material, raising significant privacy concerns. 🙇‍♂️🔐
Researchers discovered a new attack technique called "divergence attack," which manipulates ChatGPT's response patterns to reveal memorized data at an accelerated rate. 🎯💨
The divergence attack works by forcing ChatGPT to repeat a specific word or phrase, causing it to deviate from its normal behavior and generate random content, potentially exposing sensitive data. 🔁🗣️
This groundbreaking study highlights the critical importance of developing robust security measures to protect against such vulnerabilities in AI technologies. 🛡️💪
