In today’s world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept or a tool reserved for research labs – it has become deeply integrated into our daily lives. From virtual assistants and customer service chatbots to creative design tools and business automation, AI now supports us in countless ways, both personally and professionally. Through frequent interactions with AI, you can even create your AI twin – a digital version of yourself that imitates your personality, communication style, or even behavior patterns. This technology opens new possibilities for creativity, productivity, and personalized experiences.
But opportunity comes with risk. In early 2025, several public figures reported that their AI-generated likenesses were cloned without consent and used in scams ranging from fake investment pitches to fraudulent product endorsements.
Therefore, on the other hand, using AI without proper awareness can bring significant risks. Careless use of AI tools may lead to unintentional data leaks, especially when users share sensitive information such as passwords, financial data, or customer records. Moreover, malicious actors can exploit AI to fake or scam your identity, creating deepfakes, fraudulent emails, or cloned voices that appear authentic.
AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and others can help you write, code, and brainstorm faster than ever.
However, if used carelessly, they can also expose sensitive or confidential information.
By default, ChatGPT may use your conversations to help “improve the model for everyone.”
That means your chat content could be reviewed and used for training future versions of the AI. Unless you change specific settings, your conversations with AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot may be used to train the model. This means your input could be stored and analyzed. There for it is essential to check the privacy settings and disable data sharing if you’re handling sensitive or company-related information.
To protect your privacy and prevent your data from being used in model training, follow these two simple steps:
