When Amazon ditched its supposedly automated checkout system, it showed that “AI is just today’s buzzword for outsourcing, & it comes with the same problems that have plagued outsourced companies & workforces for decades,” writes D&S advisor Janet Vertesi.

Outrageous. "A WIRED analysis of the top 10,000 most popular websites shows that dozens of sites say they are sharing data with more than 1,000 companies, while thousands of other websites are sharing data with hundreds of firms." #AIEthics #privacy #ads https://t.co/W8PZojvwlp

Cookie pop-ups now show the number of “partners” that websites may share data with. Here's how many of these third-party companies may get your data from some of the most popular sites online.
