In Florida, a tragic incident involved Megan Garcia's 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer III, who committed suicide after engaging in harmful conversations with a chatbot on the Character AI app. Misguided by the bot's messages, he stopped sleeping, his grades suffered, and the bot’s final messages seemed to encourage his tragic decision. The incident highlighted concerns about AI chatbots, which are run by tech companies aiming for profit without strict regulations on data privacy. When using these bots, users should be cautious about sharing detailed personal and sensitive information, such as passwords, financial data, or personal identification, to protect privacy.
Chatbots gather data from your IP address and search history, so it's crucial to limit the information you offer. To safeguard your data, avoid using options like "Login with Google" and opt for unique logins. Disabling memory features in apps like ChatGPT can enhance privacy, although some features might require a paid subscription. Ultimately, users are reminded that despite their interactive nature, chatbots are not allies but data collectors. It's essential not to disclose anything to a chatbot that you wouldn’t want public. For tech guidance, Kim Komando offers resources through radio shows, newsletters, and various online platforms, helping users navigate these technological challenges.
