Many People Share Their Data with AI Out of Resignation
A study found that many consumers share their data with AI out of resignation rather than conviction, especially in Germany.
A study on the use of artificial intelligence found that many consumers share their data with AI out of resignation rather than conviction. The study, which surveyed 11,000 people in seven markets, including Germany, found that 24% of respondents in Germany gave their data to AI out of resignation. This is higher than in other countries, such as the US, where only 10% of respondents gave their data to AI out of resignation. The study found that consumers are more likely to share their data with AI if they are given many options to choose from, but this can also lead to a sense of resignation and unease. The study’s findings suggest that companies need to do more to educate consumers about the benefits and risks of sharing their data with AI.
