In this episode, Professor Tiffany Li shares insights on the privacy implications of artificial intelligence (AI). She shares findings from her article, Algorithm Destruction, which argues that contemporary privacy law does not go far enough to protect our privacy interests, particularly where artificial intelligence and machine learning are concerned. The discussion spans concerns over the use of our likeness to ideas for regulation and provides listeners with an understanding of how AI can affect even those who do not yet use it.
