Dazed Digital reports that the growing integration of AI across mainstream platforms and the rise of wearable recording devices have created what it calls a “tech consent crisis.” The article cites growing user frustration with ubiquitous chatbots and personal agents embedded in services, and notes public legal action in 2023 alleging that OpenAI scraped “millions” of articles to train models, a claimed source of copyright litigation, per Dazed Digital. The piece quotes a Georgetown University professor stating, “Consent has to be specific, informed, freely given, and revocable,” and highlights just-in-time permission prompts such as Apple‘s App Tracking Transparency as a limited example of increased user control, according to the article.
