As artificial intelligence grows more capable, it thrives on personal data, yet every piece of information we share deepens the privacy challenge. In this MINDWORKS Mini, Daniel Serfaty talks with Drs. Svitlana Volkova and Robert McCormack about how AI models collect, combine, and infer from our digital lives, even predicting future actions. They explore what this means for personal choice, data ownership, and trust, and offer practical advice for both AI developers and everyday users on staying vigilant while embracing AI’s potential.
