New paper alert! @acmeinhardt and I lay out a set of provocations regarding the impact of existing data privacy regulations in the US and EU on artificial intelligence. Our motivating question: can we have both data privacy and AI?

New white paper: What challenges do AI pose to our data privacy? Will existing regulations protect us? @StanfordHAI’s @kingjen and @acmeinhardt tackle these questions – arguing that existing laws in the EU and the US aren’t enough to prevent privacy harms. stanford.io/48leCQI

Bay area @Apple stores are experiencing a rash of thefts. But I find it impossible to believe that the floor models at Apple stores have no form of bricking or tracking mechanism. The company makes AirTags, after all! Or do they consider floor models disposable?

Vacaville police arrested at least two men Thursday in connection with a theft at the Berkeley Apple Store earlier that afternoon, authorities report. MORE: berkeleyscanner.com/2024/02/…

This article👇was the first I'd heard of using one-off GPS tracking to pursue stolen vehicles (vs. pursuit, which several bay area cities prohibit due to the risk of harm to the public). It requires decent aim and presence at the scene, but better from a surveillance perspective?

Berkeley police arrested teenage suspects in a stolen car earlier this month with the help of a GPS tracker that's been touted as a safer alternative to police pursuits. Auto thefts in Berkeley are up 64% over last year at this time. MORE: berkeleyscanner.com/2023/11/…

We found users are constantly juggling between privacy, utility, and convenience, affected by flawed mental models and dark patterns. #privacy #hci #ai

Debate over the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) has been driven by emotion without a path forward.
@KingJen and I examine KOSA and suggest how to overcome the stalemate for @techpolicypress.
Here’s the bottom line. 🧵 1/9

In 2010, @hoofnagle, @JoeProf & I published a survey report arguing that young folks (18-24, who are now 31-37!) did in fact care about data privacy. This piece at @techpolicypress picks up that argument for GenZ: techpolicy.press/beyond-chec… 1/

This piece highlights how decades of notice and choice privacy policy failed us. Many of the motivating issues for GenZ focus on systemic issues that individual information choices can't resolve: digital addiction & mental health, manipulative design, algorithmic justice. 2/

At least we're no longer arguing whether young people care merely because they use social media, but like all things privacy/data related the stakes are much higher (mental health vs. online shopping). Original 2010 report: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… /end

Great new piece from @jeffhorwitz at the @wsj. @meta
Facebook knew "1 in 8 users under the age of 16 said they experienced _unwanted sexual advances_ on the platform over the previous _7 days_" Yikes. Imagine how high that # is over the last month.
