Microsoft responds to temporary restrictions on employees' access to ChatGPT: mistakenly enabled when testing terminal control system

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, November 11, according to CNBC, Microsoft employees have been temporarily banned from accessing ChatGPT, and people familiar with the matter have revealed that Microsoft has restricted some employees from accessing ChatGPT because of security and privacy concerns.

A Microsoft spokesman said that the temporary ban on access occurred when the company was testing the Big language Model (LLM) terminal control system, but recommended that employees use Bing Chat Enterprise and ChatGPT Enterprise, indicating that the above products have better security and privacy.

CNBC reported that Microsoft employees were temporarily restricted access to ChatGPT on Thursday. Microsoft later said it was a mistake. CTOnews.com translated Microsoft's official statement as follows:

We were testing LLM's terminal control system, inadvertently turned on this option for all users, and soon after we found an error, we restored the service.

As we said before, we encourage employees and customers to use services with higher levels of privacy and security, such as Bing Chat Enterprise and ChatGPT Enterprise.
