User Privacy Issues In AI Applications

By Peter Brown
July 01, 2024

In the past few years, we have witnessed the astonishing pace of development of artificial intelligence applications. As a result, the fast development of AI has also raised privacy concerns about how AI companies handle usage content. (i.e., your conversation with the AI Chatbot).

Unlike the European Union, which has a relatively comprehensive data privacy law in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), federal law only regulates data privacy in specific categories. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulates data privacy relating to healthcare information, and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects the use and collection of data from children. Other privacy protections are generally provided by state laws that vary from state to state. In addition, agency regulations posted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) must be considered.

Without specific legal guardrails, the use of AI tools must be approached with caution, especially with regard to privacy. This article addresses some of the issues that users and companies using AI applications should be considering in addressing the privacy of users and their transactions.

When the SEC issues the next annual enforcement report for fiscal year 2025, we expect securities offering actions and investment adviser actions will almost certainly be up, and the “crypto” and “cyber” cases will almost certainly be down.
