Abstraction: Samsung engineers leaked trade secrets via ChatGPT input data retention

Key points:

Three separate incidents within one month of Samsung engineers leaking confidential data via ChatGPT prompts
Leaked data included: semiconductor chip test sequence source code, internal meeting notes converted to presentations
ChatGPT retains user input to train itself, meaning Samsung trade secrets are now effectively in OpenAI's possession
Samsung Electronics issued internal warning; Samsung Semiconductor began building its own in-house AI limited to 1,024-byte prompts
No recourse exists to retrieve or delete the data from OpenAI's servers
GDPR non-compliance concerns: Italy banned ChatGPT nationwide partly for the same reason (inability to request data deletion)
