Interesting. Think of a ChatGPT trained on data you create.

The inventor of the web thinks everyone will have their own personal A.I. assistants like ChatGPT

More control over your data. No blockchain. And your own personal artificial intelligence assistant, like ChatGPT.

These are all part of the vision of the future of the web, according to internet inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee and CEO of Inrupt John Bruce, who spoke on CNBC’s Beyond The Valley podcast published Friday.





How do I surveil thee? Let me count the ways…

White Castle could face multibillion-dollar judgment in Illinois privacy lawsuit

Illinois' highest court on Friday said companies violate the state's unique biometric privacy law each time they misuse a person's private information, not just the first time, a ruling that could expose businesses to billions of dollars in penalties.

The Illinois Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision said fast food chain White Castle System Inc must face claims that it repeatedly scanned fingerprints of nearly 9,500 employees without their consent, which the company says could cost it more than $17 billion.

The Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) imposes penalties of $1,000 per violation and $5,000 for reckless or intentional violations. The law requires companies to obtain permission before collecting fingerprints, retinal scans and other biometric information from workers and consumers.

White Castle had argued that it could only be sued for initially collecting each worker's fingerprint, and not every time they were scanned to access a company computer system.





Every little bit helps.
