News Corp assures staff their data is secure despite Google AI opt-out issues — Capital Brief
News Corp has assured staff that their emails and contacts remain secure in an internal memo that took aim at Google for omitting key information that thwarted News Corp’s attempt to opt out of the search giant’s artificial intelligence tool, Gemini.
The memo puts News Corp — owner of Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal, Harper Collins, The Sun, The Times of London, and other assets — among the largest known enterprise users of Google’s Workspace product, a competitor to Microsoft’s Office, to suffer issues with the search giant’s rollout of Gemini this month.
David Kline, News Corp’s chief technology officer, told staff in a memo on Friday that the company had attempted to opt out of Gemini but was unsuccessful due to what he described as an “omission” by the Alphabet-owned company.
Kline told News Corp’s 23,900 global employees, many of them journalists, that their data, including emails and contacts, had not been compromised and that Google Workspace remained safe to use.
News Corp, one of the world’s largest media conglomerates, has assured its staff that their data is secure despite ongoing issues with Google’s artificial intelligence opt-out feature. In a recent Capital Brief, the company reiterated its commitment to protecting employee data and privacy in light of concerns raised by recent developments in the tech industry.
Google’s AI opt-out feature, which allows users to prevent the company from collecting personal data for targeted advertising purposes, has been met with skepticism and criticism from privacy advocates. Some have raised concerns about the potential for data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
In response to these concerns, News Corp has taken proactive measures to ensure the security of its employees’ data. The company has implemented strict security protocols and encryption measures to safeguard against potential threats. Additionally, News Corp has provided training and resources to help staff understand the importance of data privacy and the steps they can take to protect themselves online.
Despite the challenges posed by Google’s AI opt-out feature, News Corp remains confident in its ability to keep employee data secure. The company is committed to upholding the highest standards of data protection and privacy, and will continue to monitor and address any potential risks that may arise.
As the debate over data privacy and security continues to unfold, News Corp is taking a proactive and transparent approach to ensure the safety of its staff’s information. By prioritizing data security and privacy, the company is setting a positive example for others in the industry to follow.
