AI devices constantly collect and share your personal data

AI-powered devices, even when seemingly inactive, continuously collect and share personal data, raising significant privacy concerns. This includes smart speakers and other devices that are always listening. These devices, from electric razors to smartwatches, use machine learning to track user behavior, often without explicit consent, and may share data with third parties. This data collection can be used to create detailed profiles and predict future actions. Consumers have limited control over their data, and companies are rolling back privacy protections. Users should be aware of data collection policies and consider turning off or unplugging devices for private conversations.
