The Data Download: The burden of data management - Is it ours to bear?
Sent by Joshua Katris | February 25, 2024
The Good
A new white paper titled “Rethinking Privacy in the AI Era” released by Stanford University’s HAI (Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence) suggests that policymakers should support new mechanisms and infrastructure that support and automate an individuals data rights and preferences. This would essentially flip the script on how personal data is created and managed.
The Bad
Widely accepted privacy rules that try to guide how artificial intelligence (AI) is developed are not enough to fully handle the competition over gathering data and the privacy issues that arise, both for individuals and society as a whole.
The Ugly
Imagine opening your security camera app and finding images from other customers’ security cameras. This is precisely what happened to approximately 13,000 customers of Wyze Labs, Inc. The incident lead to The New York Times, pausing their recommendation for all Wyze smart home devices.
Something to think about
Managing data is a tedious job. If we had complete control over who could access our personal information, how many of us would put in the work required to make sure it was in the right hands?
Do you think this is something you would do yourself? Or would you outsource this to someone else?
