The Era of AI: A Double-Edged Sword
AI platforms like ChatGPT utilize vast quantities of public data to enhance their learning. This leaves the door open for potential unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Privacy Risks and Recommendations
**Personal Input Exploitation** — Treat input as potentially public, avoid sharing identifiable information
**Public Data Leakage** — Inputs can inadvertently contribute to a larger dataset that may be exposed
**Memory and Retention Issues** — Explore privacy settings, including temporary chats or instructing AI to forget information
Actionable Insights for Real Estate Professionals
**Educate Yourself and Your Clients** — Share insights about safeguarding data
**Limit Shared Information** — Treat every interaction as potentially public
**Employ AI Responsibly** — Balance automation with personal client interactions
**Advocate for Clear Regulations** — Support initiatives promoting data privacy
Awareness and proactive measures will be key to safeguarding privacy while leveraging AI.
