Your Data and AI: What's Really Happening and How to Protect Yourself

About this event

What really happens to your information when you search, shop, and chat with AI online? In this plain-language session, follow a single piece of data on its journey, from the moment you hand it over, to the profile companies build, to the way that profile gets used to decide what you see and what you are offered. No tech background needed and no scare tactics. Much of this was never something you chose, so you will leave knowing where you actually have a say, and the handful of settings and habits that genuinely protect you. Bring your questions.
