Your selfies are helping AI learn. You did not consent to this.

Maybe that sounds like a utopian fantasy. You have gotten used to the feeling that once you put digital bits of yourself or your loved ones online, you lose control of what happens next.

And he said that some influential AI organizations are open to this, too.
