to trying to analyze. so they scrape the internet companies like meta and ex, maybe using your photos to train them models. you can opt out of this in the privacy settings. and luckily, most companies haven't been training that i lie with private accounts, at least for now. but even if you of the 3rd parties can still grab your post earlier this year, human rights which reported that the data set lie on 5 be, may contain thousands of images of children. songs. these are easily trace back to real people. this particular data set has been used to try and big image generate is like stable diffusion and mid journey. and there's a far more disturbing risk credit is using your kids photos as child abuse material . many images shed in pet of false forms come from social media up to 50 percent of the images on those sites. i grabbed from public post and iowa is making it was in just a few clicks. someone can create a nude image as somebody else using

drugs. i texted this includes liability, data, privacy and ethical concerns like job loss of human drivers. in theory, robo taxi's could make roads safer by reducing human error. they could also ease traffic through smart of root plan, part of to seeing this video of why most axis home community each other are not convinced yet. there are also major privacy concerns when it comes to self driving cars and other smart devices. let's take a closer look at that. it's true that smart cause can gather lots of sensitive data and cause hom, these are the 3 main risks gathering. use a data if a cost system has a voice, assistance pack is all those controlling the software. quote, a struck on conversations they could also access on board cameras. beyond that, tracking the cause, routes and stops via gps would create a detailed picture of the driver's daily life. together this data could reveal intimate details about the person behind the wheel, putting best safety at risk gathering information on locations and infrastructure using the cause. external cameras and sensors. someone with remote control could

gather detailed data about the surrounding areas that the cost travels through. this could give them valuable insights into critical infrastructure, such as power plants or even military bases manipulation of navigation systems. many of the latest small cause can be controlled remotely, which means they could potentially be steed against the drive as will theoretically that means that smart cause could intentionally be used hom, people inside or around them by causing an accident to summit up. smart cause have a lot of potential for misuse. well, that's it from us, kate, your eyes out and see you next on the, the 77 percent on our special show on the great outdoors. we'll hear what you guys like to do when you need a break. it's
