Privacy in the Age of AI
Ed 6 | The grftf Newsletter
Friends,
As we head into an AI-dominated future, privacy will become our most precious asset.
But there’s a problem!
Over the last 20 years, the internet has effectively stolen our right to privacy.
Fixing it can seem hopeless. And most people would rather avoid the topic altogether.
But there are things we can do.
This edition will get you better equipped to take on the privacy challenge in this age of AI.
Have courage and take the plunge.
Cheers!

Ep 6 | AI, Digital Dossiers, & Our Lost Right to Privacy with Daniel Solove
In this episode, I am joined by world-renowned privacy law expert Professor Daniel Solove.
Prof. Solove reveals alarming privacy issues in our digital world and how AI exacerbates the problem. We discuss the 'digital dossier' that exists for every single person and how it is used against our will.
Prof. Solove clarifies common misconceptions and emphasizes the inadequacy of existing privacy laws. He also reveals the risks of data harvesting, how AI can deduce sensitive information about us, and its misuse. He encourages people to initiate changes in privacy laws rather than settling for the existing ones.
