Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere, even in places we don’t expect. We will explore generative artwork, digital assistants, automated license plate readers, and smart home devices with a deep dive into how companies utilize AI by extracting personal data and impact our everyday lives. We will analyze these technologies and review some unintended consequences and privacy harms like economic loss, social stigmatization, loss of autonomy, and discrimination that can be caused without careful implementation. We will discuss the integration of AI into your tech stack and engagement with 3rd party service to perform tasks for you (contracts, cookies, data retention, data subject rights, and more.)
