Nope nope nope nope nope.

If this happened to me I'd sue for sharing my personal information with an unofficial 3rd party.

    ... a FOREIGN party. That's data sovereignty and unchecked spreading of P-I.

    We don't sue much for that - thats for Americans - but it should be a career-limiting decision.

    The article calls it an internal tool, meaning it’s probably sanctioned by leadership. I don’t know, everything after the first paragraph is behind a paywall.

    Approval by leadership of a tool is not necessarily reflective of the governance requirements of the organization. Data classification exists but in VERY few orgs is it respected and followed.

    “You can use ChatGPT to write Facebook posts” is sanctioning by leadership.

    “You can use ChatGPT” is what people often hear.

    15 years ago it was “my manager got us Dropbox”.

    According to the article, the tool is internal. Which means that at the very least it's been vetted, and potentially is a self-developed, self-hosted service, in which case your data doesn't even leave the police.

    That would be OK, but the fact they're using a tool that can hallucinate laws and rights that don't exist is a huge problem.

    Boy do I got news for you. If they are like every other slop addicted business they are just renting from one of the major providers and rebranding the UI.
