Privacy risks of ChatGPT. Implicit privacy risks of Chatbots /…

With ChatGPT, we are seeing a resurgence of Chatbots. I have previously written on the enterprise applications of ChatGPT, and similar Large Language Models (LLMS) -- article. We can only expect this adoption to grow in different verticals, e.g. Customer Support, Health, Banking, Dating; leading to the inevitable harvesting of queries posed by the users as a'source of personal data' for Adverting, Phishing, etc. scenarios. While most users are sufficiently aware of the privacy risks to not share explicit Personally Identifiable Information (PII), e.g., credit card numbers, bank account details, health conditions; We propose a solution in the form of a user (chat client) module that intercepts the user (natural language) query and leverages the same "generative model" of ChatGPT to a generate a privacy preserving variant of the original user query.
