I’m testifying before the U.S. Senate Thursday on AI and the need for privacy laws. https://t.co/jBSLC72OLs What’s your example of AI being misused in a way that violates privacy?

Just as a reminder, I'm offering 2 webinars in July for academic moms to learn to use AI for time saving, efficiencies, and offloading tedious tasks. It is $25 for a 1.5 hour webinar (to cover costs associated with running it). More details here!
