Yeah... I have no doubt that people at my Fortune 100 company tried it out with their corporate email domains. We have about 80,000 employees, so it seems nearly impossible that somebody wouldn't have tried it.
But, since then the policy has come down that nobody is allowed to use any sort of AI/LLM without written authorization from both Legal and someone at the C-suite level. The main concern is we might inadvertently use someone else's IP without authorization.
I have no idea how many other Fortune companies have implemented similar policies, but it does call the 80% number into question for me.
This is pretty standard for early-stage startups citing Fortune 500 use. Not representative and fairly misleading, but it's what they've done at most of the companies I've worked at.
The policy is specifically about third party AI/LLMs. I assume a locally running LLM would be okay as long as it was not trained by any material whatsoever external to the company. That is, we could only use our own IP to train it.
