Is someone going to tell them that AI/ML is just a set of regression algos, potentially on top of other regression algos, and that it is used in nearly every aspect of any online service they use to bring their service to them faster? I think this clearly shows just how far the hype terms of AI and ML have caused detriment when actually describing the technology underlying it, because it is much dumber than many people think. What is truly the problem is who is using the tech, for what reason, and how are they acquiring data to build such models. But, as we have seen with GDPR, having one jurisdiction or body say they will have new rules for data collections doesn't really lead to less tracking overall. So my question is, how do we do this? How do we once and for all stop continued, pointed tracking of all internet traffic? And is it even possible if groups like the NSA and Chinese gov already have backdoors to many sites and hardware platforms?
