#121 Putting the "I" in AI - How your personal information powers artificial intelligence

Nov 11, 2024

Awareness is growing that the power of many AI tools derives from the fact that they are trained on our personal information.

We discuss how regulators (like Australia's OAIC) are now stepping up their expectations that privacy obligations be adhered to by developers and deployers of AI.

We also explore the case study of Australian start-up harrison.ai - whose AI tool was trained on hundreds of thousands of medical images - and which recently brought the issue of privacy and AI into the spotlight.
