In the latest in their blog series on the “nuts and bolts” of AI for legal professionals, Cimplifi discusses privacy considerations of AI!

Their post titled (wait for it!) Privacy Considerations of AI (available here) discusses how AI algorithms are driven by data – lots and lots of data. One of the challenges associated with so much data driving AI algorithms is that at least some of that data may be sensitive individual personal data.

In fact, the revenue model of numerous companies today is built on the ability to use personal data to drive recommendations on everything from shows to watch on a streaming platform like Netflix, to songs to listen to on Pandora, and items to purchase on Amazon. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) use AI algorithms to determine what content appears in the feed of its users. Facial recognition systems are being used with increasing regularity – often, without us even realizing it. The list goes on.

The handling of all that personal data has not only led to considerable concern from a data privacy perspective. But there are also AI mechanisms that help protect sensitive data as well.

So, what are the privacy considerations of AI – both negative and positive? Find out here, it’s only one click! I’m positive there will be no negative effects from reading this article! 😉
