I dunno what to tell you, I still care about privacy. And Apple seem to think it’s a competitive advantage. They are seemingly prepared to deliver a worse iPhone because they want to ship AI with privacy. It’s a bold move Cotton. Sure, people still Google and use Facebook and TikTok and have seemingly accepted the Faustian bargin of giving up privacy for cool applications. And look I get it, cool apps are better than privacy. But I think maybe this is a bridge too far? As AI becomes more pervasive and personal, we need to think very carefully about the danger for misuse. The trade-off for privacy has until recently not been worth it. But what if I told you, maybe it’s not a trade-off anymore? Or maybe the trade-off isn’t so big? The computational complexity of advanced privacy-preserving techniques is getting better every day. It can’t come fast enough.
