"Artificial intelligence (AI) is the combination of algorithms designed for the purpose of creating machines that perform the same capabilities as human beings 1" . In essence, AI has been created to understand and imitate the way a person thinks and acts.
Recently, AI has been gaining more attention due to the great impact it has had on today's world, as well as the risks associated with its use. One of the main concerns related to AI is access to personal data and the lack of privacy.
For example, when you create an account on the ChatGPT AI program, it collects information related to the account such as: name, contact information, payment card information, and transaction history, in accordance with the OpenAI Privacy Policy 2. Additionally, it collects any personal information that is included in the entries, files, or comments that the user provides when using these services.
Also, by simply visiting, using or interacting with programs such as ChatGPT, they automatically collect data such as: the type of content the user views, the functions they use, the actions they perform, their interaction with the program, their time zone, type of device, among others.
Likewise, these platforms can share personal information with third parties without prior notice, including vendors, service providers, and government authorities. In this regard, AI provides multiple benefits for people and facilitates hundreds of tasks, but it is essential to regulate it based on the risks involved so that it can continue to function in the best possible way.
Finally, it is important to keep in mind that AI is changing and advancing so fast that we must be flexible enough to adapt to updates or new programs that may arise and regulate it considering its specific characteristics.
