Session IV:

AI and Consumer Privacy & Safety: The Unrecognized Dangers in Everyday Technology

Not unlike the problematic impact of “Social Media,” plus powerful SmartPhones enabling negative echo chambers which enhance for many and especially among the young, personal depression, and even self-harm, AI with an entirely different set of psychological and technological tools, presents a host of new problems. While we are all quite aware of “Deep Fakes,” and how they can be used to invade privacy, innovative AI consumer technologies like “AI Sunglasses” with hidden audio and video recording capabilities, for a teen in a school or social setting may present privacy problems as well. AI carries a host of unfamiliar risks. Facial analysis tools are often less accurate than we had hoped. And chatbots, which our teens interact with as friends, can at times exhibit unusual behavior. As innovation continues accelerating, we must evaluate if convenience overrules emerging dangers.
