Microsoft, Privacy & Your Data.....

I Noted this article today (on Mozillia.org) and it just made me laugh – My conspiracy side asks if this is just Microsoft trying to confuse everyong so they really can use your data or is it just the legal/lawyer types just utterly confused on how to deal with this mash-up of data and how generative AI may take your data and use it to train itself..

What does the article say:

Ask Microsoft: Are you using our personal data to train AI?

Mozillia had four lawyers, three privacy experts, and two campaigners look at Microsoft's new Service Agreement, and none of our experts could tell if Microsoft plans on using your personal data – including audio, video, chat, and attachments from 130 products, including Office, Skype, Teams, and Xbox – to train its AI models.

If nine experts in privacy can't understand what Microsoft does with your data, what chance does the average person have? That's why we're asking Microsoft to say if they're going to use our personal data to train its AI.

Who Knows???

One thing is for sure data privacy legal folks are going to get all sorts of interested in this stuff……
