The Interplay of AI and User Rights
The relationship between users and artificial intelligence is currently imbalanced, with many feeling their data and online behaviors are exploited without consent. For instance, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have come under scrutiny for using personal images to train AI tools, leaving users with limited options for opting out. This concern reflects a broader mistrust in AI technology, as individuals are increasingly aware that their data is harvested, often with little regard for their input or rights. To rebuild trust, there is a pressing need for systems that empower users, allowing for a more equitable interaction with AI.
