At what point does information sharing become a privacy concern, asks Vancouver Island university prof
Whether sending a text or searching Google, data is being collected in the pursuit of improving artificial intelligence, and it's an inescapable part of participating in modern society.
During his literature review ahead of the study, Shrestha found that many youths seem unconcerned with the data collection itself, but are concerned with poor methods of communication. This includes companies slipping the details of how the user's data will be used in frequently skipped over terms and conditions, and closed-source coded AI that can't be reviewed by general users.
Shrestha said the end goal of the project is to create insights that can contribute to the development of ethical AI with better privacy consciousness. "For the parents, it's very important for them to start the conversation with regarding privacy because most of the time our young users spend a lot of time using ," Shrestha warned. "Everything is AI-powered, so they're using AI-driven technologies and it's very important to let them understand the risks with using such tools.
"It has provisions that users have control over their data, they should be able to change their preferences and they can even request their data be deleted from the system," Shrestha said.
