According to news in the morning of March 1, Beijing time, on Tuesday, local time, Wal-Mart issued a clear directive to employees not to share any information related to Wal-Mart to generative artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT.

In an internal email to employees, Wal-Mart Global Technologies, Wal-Mart's technical and software engineering division, said it had blocked ChatGPT for a period of time "after noticing activities that pose a risk to the company". "subsequently, we took the time to evaluate and develop a set of guidelines for the use of generative artificial intelligence systems, and the use of ChatGPT is now available in Wal-Mart's internal network."

A Wal-Mart spokesman did not respond to when the company blocked ChatGPT and the nature of the so-called risky activities, saying only in a statement: "most new technologies can bring new help as well as create new risks. It is common for us to evaluate these new technologies and provide guidance to our employees."

In the new guidelines, Wal-Mart tells employees to "avoid entering any sensitive, confidential or private information into ChatGPT", such as financial information, strategic information, and personal information about shoppers and employees. Employees "should not enter any information about Wal-Mart's business, including business processes, policies or strategies, into these tools," the email said. "

The email said that Wal-Mart employees must evaluate the output of these systems before accepting the information provided by the systems. Employees should not cut or copy software code into these tools, nor should they use these tools to write new code.

According to the email, "entering Wal-Mart information into these tools may expose the company, may violate confidentiality agreements, and may seriously damage our rights to code, products, information or content." it is the responsibility of every employee to use and protect Wal-Mart data in the right way. "

At the end of the email, Wal-Mart said ChatGPT "can improve efficiency and bring innovation", but these generative artificial intelligence tools must be used in an "appropriate way".

Recently, companies such as Amazon and Microsoft have issued similar warnings to employees about entering confidential information into ChatGPT.
