There is an ongoing question about whether AI can be trained on copywritten works. If the AI pioneering companies are able to push back against the entire publishing industry and have nothing more than a conversation about it, then why would I ever expect any company to respect me or my personal data? In fact, I think there is a large and growing portion of the population who have watched big business scoff at laws and regulation (see Wells Fargo, Uber multiple crypto exchanges, etc) and are realizing that profit is the only motivator. That's not even talking about the chaotic political landscape. I think we will soon see a crisis in institutional trust across the board.
