​If you’ve played around with an AI chatbot or tried out an AI face filter online, your data is being collected

AI systems often collect personal data to customize user experiences or to help train the AI models you’re using (especially if the AI tool is free).

​Various forms of AI bias are detrimental too. Speaking to the New York Times, Princeton computer science professor Olga Russakovsky said AI bias goes well beyond gender and race.

“A.I. researchers are primarily people who are male, who come from certain racial demographics, who grew up in high socioeconomic areas, primarily people without disabilities,” Russakovsky said. “We’re a fairly homogeneous population, so it’s a challenge to think broadly about world issues.”
