By researching the most intrusive AI apps, we have mapped out the power of AI to intrude on your data. This report is a three-section summary of our findings
Most intrusive apps include Google’s Socratic, Duolingo, AI ARTA, Chat AI, DaVinci and K Health, according to an investigation by Home Security Heroes. 64% of investigated AI-powered apps track users’ personal data for their own marketing benefits.
74% of AI apps also track Identifiers. These are a set of unique serial numbers or character strings that are specific to a user’s device. They include user IDs, such as a screen name, handle, and account ID, and device IDs, including category identifiers, such as the device’s advertising identifier.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Can’t say I’m at all surprised at this.
