Here’s my latest cartoon – for Halloween. This cartoon is inspired by many companies now starting to use their users’ data to train their AI algorithms. Recently, Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) changed its privacy notice to indicate that it would start using user data for AI training. As the famous saying goes, “If you’re […]
