The source said that Google Bard AI Assistant had a loophole in exposing users' privacy questions to public search results.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 3: conversations between users and AI were supposed to be private, but an analysis consultant on platform X found that some users' conversations using Google Bard appeared in Google public search results.

It is reported that when Google expanded its deployment of Bard AI tools in July this year, it added the function of "sharing dialogue links". Users can export their conversations with Bard as web links and share them with others, allowing others to continue their conversations with Bard.

Gagan Ghotra, an analyst consultant on X platform, discovered the loophole. Google mistakenly introduced links shared by some users into search results, resulting in the leakage of sensitive information.

According to the post posted by ▲ source Gagan Ghotra on the X platform, Gagan Ghotra warns users not to share any "private content" when talking to Bard, otherwise the relevant information may be leaked.

According to CTOnews.com, Google's search public relations department responded that Bard allows users to share links, but only if it is "voluntary". Google claims that "its own search engine has never indexed these shared links," and staff are working to clean up these inappropriate search results.

In March this year, OpenAI's ChatGPT also briefly leaked the content of user conversations, prompting OpenAI to add a feature that allows users to turn off ChatGPT conversation records.
