Privacy in the AI Age
What AI Knows About You
Every interaction is data: ChatGPT conversations, Google searches, photos you upload, voice recordings, location history, social media posts, shopping history.
The Privacy Checklist
Before using any AI tool, ask:
- Where is my data stored?
- Is it encrypted?
- Will it be used to train AI models?
- Can I delete my data?
- Who else can access it?
Golden Rule
Never tell an AI anything you wouldn't tell a stranger on the bus.
