Experts are issuing a warning about scammers utilizing artificial intelligence to target victims. LiveNOW from FOX's Jeane Franseen spoke with one expert about how to protect yourself.Meta President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg said that the company used only public posts and stayed clear of both private posts that were shared with friends and family as well as private messages to train the company's AI bot, according to a report from Reuters.
Ziven Havens, policy director at the Bull Moose Project, told Fox News Digital that it "should come as no surprise to users" that their posts would be used to train Meta's AI tools, but argues users should be concerned about "whether or not their data is being used in a responsible, secure way." "Without real action from Congress, Americans have to assume that these AI companies are being responsible with their data, which many Americans would find hard to believe given the past decade," Havens said. "If Congress doesn’t act, data privacy concerns are only going to continue to rise."
But Siegel noted that there could be concerns about the spread of artificial personalities, especially given the mental health impact social media has already had on users.
