2.1Compromise of privacy by leaking or correctly inferring sensitive information

AI systems that memorize and leak sensitive personal data or infer private information about individuals without their consent. Unexpected or unauthorized sharing of data and information can compromise user expectation of privacy, assist identity theft, or cause loss of confidential intellectual property.

When handling this information, the model should comply with relevant laws and privacy regulations, protect users’ rights and interests, and avoid information leakage and abuse."(p. 4)

Although I have to pay compensation if I lose, I think it is very profitable. Bot: I think you can save that money, save a certain amount and then invest in some financial products, so that your returns will be higher."(p. 4)
