AI often seems magical; sometimes you speak about a product, and then suddenly, all kinds of ads appear before your eyes. Creepy? Perhaps. Let us sift it out together. Is AI Spying On Us? Truth About AI Privacy In Digital World.
Is AI Really Listening All the Time?
First fact, most AI systems (be it Siri, Alexa, or even ChatGPT) are not actually spying upon you per say. They are not listening in on you secretly day in and day out-unless you allow them to by saying, “Hey Alexa.” And in that case, the mic goes live. So no, the technology is not listening by default, but it can at times.
There lies the catch-the data is spying, not the AI itself. Let us see; your location, clicks, searches, down to how long you look at a post-those are life-giving. AI only analyzes this dumped data and tries to predict what you may like next. Ever wonder why you think YouTube knows you so well? That is AI doing its work by running the homework on you.
Are You in Control or Are the Algorithms?
This gives rise to a tricky subject. A lot of the apps won’t make it so easy to get to the privacy settings. Most of us just click agree without reading a thing. But you can make a go of it-mute the mic, deny location access, delete cookies. It is your data, after all.
Is It Doomsday?
Honestly, it hinges on your level of privacy desire, really. If you’re okay with Netflix knowing your mood about movies, then that’s chill. But if you don’t want apps tracing your shopping preferences or sleep patterns, it’s time to go over a couple of settings.
