There’s a surprising group that’s more likely to tell secrets to chatbots: parents. Our latest research found that people with kids are twice as likely to tell AI something they’ve never told a therapist, doctor or close friend. Some parents told us AI makes their life easier. Others said they keep it at arm’s length. We talked to parents and caregivers in the wild to hear what they’re thinking.

Duck Tales — a behind-the-scenes look at DuckDuckGo. Ep.42: 32% of AI users (and 56% of AI enthusiasts) tell AI things they've kept from other people. This and other findings from our latest research. Full episode: https://lnkd.in/ehVMhzTf | 'Inside DuckDuckGo' on Spotify

1 in 3 AI users have told a chatbot something they kept from trusted people in their lives like a doctor or close friend. We surveyed nearly 2,000 U.S. adults about AI privacy. The results suggest that people are sharing secrets with AI that Big Tech doesn’t keep. For many people, AI chatbots serve as a judgment-free space to share things they won't tell anyone else. 32% of AI users say they've told a chatbot something they've never told a close friend, parent, colleague, doctor, or therapist; among self-described AI enthusiasts, that number jumps to 56%. Parents are confiding in AI almost twice as much as non-parents. Among parents who use AI, 43% report that they’ve told an AI something they never told trusted people like their doctor or close friends. So what’s the harm? Most AI chat services use conversations for model training, unless users actively opt out. 53% of people didn't know (or weren't sure) that their conversations are used for AI training. What can we do about it? The most valuable information you could share with Big Tech is your next question, not the questions you asked days or months or years ago. There are proactive steps you can take to protect yourself while using AI chat. Start by seeking out AI tools with transparent data handling policies, strong privacy default settings and overall designed with your privacy in mind, like DuckAI.

Meta says it will fix the explosion of street harassment videos made with its smart glasses by banning that content from Instagram. But many of the videos are still up...and Meta is still promoting the glasses. Content moderation is imperfect, and it can't fix an unsafe product.
