Using AI To Protect Your Personal Data - DZone AI

How many of us could accurately say what is happening with our data right now? Are we aware of how Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others use the data we share online every day? I suspect the vast majority of us skip past the privacy policy when signing up for websites and are therefore largely in the dark as to how our data is used. It's a quandary that prompted a team of researchers from EPFL, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Michigan to develop an AI-driven program to check privacy policies for us. The work, which was documented in a recently published paper, aims to make it easier for users to understand the privacy policies they so often skip past. The team has developed a tool, called Polisis, which can be used for free either as a browser extension or from their website.
