Tech companies developing artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems have consumed nearly all publicly available data on the internet, but this data, alone, is not enough to train their systems.  Now, with little public data left to ingest, the tech industry is turning to consumers to collect and use their personal data to train their AI systems—a highly invasive data collection practice.  Consumers should take note: these data collection practices pose a variety of serious privacy issues.

In recent months, artificial intelligence and the “AI Revolution” have been at the forefront of business, media, and government attention.  AI technology is rapidly evolving at a pace far faster than the development of applicable laws and regulations.
