What do chatbots know about you—and what are they doing with that info?
AI is becoming more and more integrated into people’s daily lives. But as with any rapidly evolving technology, it carries both benefits and risks. AI can help with everything from sparking creativity to saving time on routine tasks. On the other hand, it can be manipulated or misused by bad actors or companies that don’t necessarily have your best interests in mind.
You may already know that AI deepfake technology is being exploited by scammers to trick people into giving up money or personal information, including through romance scams and fraudulent impersonations of people like celebrities and law enforcement officers.
But you don’t need to be scammed by cybercriminals in order to experience unwanted effects from AI. Experts are sounding the alarm about AI’s overall privacy risks, particularly regarding how much AI tech companies know about you—and what’s being done with that information.
