AI Grazing

Vain Jangling
AI won’t enable persons or companies to use my words against me.

With companies integrating AI into their code, applications, features, and selling points, what does that mean for privacy? Sure, each company has a Privacy Notice and wants end-users to trust them and their platform, but we already know many sell what data they do have of persons to other companies, etc. This is often why we receive random ads, texts, emails, and phone calls we never subscribed to. And who really reads those long notices?

Consider that AI grazes the internet for its knowledge base (based on its development, programming, design, and access). Are we to believe its integration into email and applications that read, create, reply, and otherwise access PII, PHI, confidential, and other sensitive information will not feel free to graze in those pastures as well? That seems just a bit naive vain jangling.

It is less about fearing AI and more about trusting those in control of it. Knowledge is power, and the more knowledge, experience, creativity someone can learn from, borrow, steal, or repurpose from someone else is concerning. Especially, if it can be used against you or without your permission to benefit others. So, maybe let’s keep the grazing to a minimal area of our choosing and not our whole farm.
