Pointed out that Amazon's AI ``Amazon Q'' leaks sensitive data such as the location of AWS data centers due to severe hallucinations



It has been reported that the AI chat service ``Amazon Q'', which was just announced on November 29, 2023, may have privacy issues. According to some employees, Amazon Q is sometimes attacked by terrible hallucinations (hallucinations) and sometimes reveals the location of Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers.

According to a leaked document obtained by the news media Platformer, Amazon Q can cause ``hallucinations,'' a phenomenon often seen in AI that ``outputs false information as if it is true.'' It is said that information such as unreleased features will be leaked.

One employee described the incident as ``so bad that we had engineers called in at night and fixed it all weekend.''

After the report, an Amazon spokesperson issued a short comment saying, ``No confidential information has leaked from Amazon Q.''



Amazon Q is a chat AI that was introduced as a ``new type of generative AI,'' and its strengths are that it can be customized to suit a company's business environment and can be connected to external apps such as Amazon S3 and Dropbox.

AWS CEO Adam Selipsky has previously said that many companies are banning AI assistants from corporate use due to security and privacy concerns. In response to these industry challenges, Amazon is said to have designed Amazon Q to be more secure and privacy-friendly than consumer products.

However, despite being positioned as a secure alternative to chatbots like ChatGPT, Amazon Q is no longer in line with other large-scale language models after employees expressed concerns about its security and privacy features. It was suggested that there may be a problem.
