The use cases have been many ranging from content creation, even story writing, hobbies such as song generation, technical troubleshooting & support, learning and education including research analysis. Most of these widely used GenAI bots are deployed on massive IT infrastructure across the globe and are expected to be deployed in Indian boundaries as well. This wide usage of AI/ML at individual level has exposed various security and privacy challenges. The talk will cover some of the recent challenges related to data leakage, privacy compromises, vulnerabilities and hallucination.
