How to Use Generative AI Safely?

By giving it instructions in our own words, Generative AI enables us to create things such as text, images, videos, audio or software code.

Despite having been around for more than seven decades now, we still marvel at new developments of Artificial Intelligence (AI). One such development is the Generative AI which enables easy content generation on a wide range of topics.

Due to its benefits many people and companies globally use this technology. However, as more free AI tools become available online, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks. For this reason, consider these three guidelines:

Transparency matters

Generative AI depends on what information it has learned from. The biases that are present in data will also be found in AIs. To know how much utility you can get out of the specific AI you are employing you need to have knowledge about how it was trained. This helps you understand its limitations and be critical of its results.AI is not all knowing and does not always give true and false answers.

Protect your privacy and security

For an efficient working performance Generative AI needs lots of data. Have you ever thought about what happens with data shared through free Generative AI apps? Be careful when providing personal or confidential information because if there are no proper precautions taken the same could be exposed to others.

Check Reputation of the App

Every other day there is a new Generative AI app coming up but how do we know which one should be trusted? Before signing up or downloading the app check for permission requests on your device. Anything suspicious? Read reviews and comments within this app store to find out whether or not this app is considered safe and reliable.

The internet has made it possible for many people to access Generative AI today but like any other online tool; one must responsibly use it without compromising their safety, privacy ethics while looking forward to enjoying the good it has to offer. As Internet Day approaches, we should pledge to make it a better place for all of us by utilizing the internet including Generative AI in the most meaningful way possible.
