She now advocates for privacy and criticizes the business models that rely on the extraction of personal data.
Whittaker expressed her lack of confidence in the current direction of the AI industry, pointing out the power imbalances created by an industry controlled by “a handful of surveillance giants” that are “largely unaccountable.” She emphasized that most people are not the users of AI but are instead subjected to its use by employers, law enforcement, governments, and other entities with their own goals that may not necessarily benefit individuals or society as a whole.
