Before things like this become widespread, can we get some etiquette (and legal awareness)?
On one recent videoconf with a startup founder, it turned out that they were using some random AI product with access to video and audio on the call, without my knowledge or consent.
(Thanks a lot; now some AI gold rush company has video and audio recording of me, as well as ingested the non-public information on the call.)
Their response to me asking about that made me sure I wanted nothing to do with that startup.
But some AI company probably still has that private data, and if so, presumably will go on to leak it various ways.
And it seems the only way to get an AI goldrush company to actually remove all trace of data it's obtained sketchily/illegally, might be to go legal scorched-earth on the company and its executives, as well as to any affiliates to whom they've leaked.
We shouldn't need random people undertaking filing lawsuits and criminal complaints, just because some random other person was oblivious/indifferent about "consenting" on their behalf. Which "consent" I don't think is legal consent (especially not in "two-party" states), but AI goldrush companies don't care, yet.
