Summary
Chatbotstrain their AI models using real-world interactions in order to improve accuracy and be able to offer user-specific problems in the future.
The data collected by chatbots is usually completely anonymised, and they confirm that it is not used for marketing or advertising, so it does not impact the user directly.
However, there are growing concerns over the lack of transparency regarding data deanonymisation, the high risk of data leakage due to cyber breaches and ethical concerns over environmental impact, and unfair labour practices without compensation, which might discourage some users from wanting to participate in AI model training.
It is possible to opt out of this process, and this article gives instructions on how to do so for some of the most popular AI chatbots.
It’s important to remember that deleting chat histories will not delete data that has already been used for training.
The best option for users wishing to opt-out entirely is to stop using AI chatbots altogether.
