What should I look out for with AI in corporate training & L&D?

Learning platforms process employees' personal data: progress, assessment results, recordings of role-plays and sometimes evaluations. Sign a data processing agreement, ask where the data is stored and which language models and sub-processors sit behind it (often OpenAI or Azure OpenAI), and insist that your course material and learning data are not used to train models. Do not upload confidential company information to a free chatbot to build a course from it. If you use an AI avatar or a cloned voice of a real colleague, record written consent. Do not let AI independently assess or select employees for roles: AI systems that influence decisions about workers or access to training can be high-risk under the EU AI Act, and AI literacy for staff has been mandatory since February 2025. Check AI-generated course content for factual errors before you publish it.

5 November 2026Flaw in Lockdown Mode patched

Via pop-up windows in the HTML preview of code blocks, an attacker could bypass Lockdown Mode and siphon off your chat history, via a manipulated prompt, GPT or shared chat. OpenAI patched the flaw on 18 September 2026; Check Point published the details on 5 November. Users do not need to do anything. source

1 November 2026Reports to the police and stricter rules for teens

In the third quarter of 2026, OpenAI made more than 200 reports to law enforcement about threatened violence based on ChatGPT conversations. Conversations in which someone appears fixated on violence may be ended automatically by ChatGPT, and if it happens repeatedly, OpenAI can pause the account. So don't assume that what you type into ChatGPT stays confidential. source

27 October 2026Connection with iCloud Mail and Calendar on all subscriptions

ChatGPT can use plugins to search and summarise iCloud mail and change appointments, including on the free subscription. Signing in uses an app-specific password from Apple; it remains valid if you disconnect the integration in ChatGPT and you must revoke it yourself via account.apple.com. source
