(CNN) \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re financially pressed, confused about money, or just want a little free help figuring out how to improve your cash flow, you may be tempted to use AI.<\/p>\n

But you should know how to protect yourself before chatting about your finances with any AI tool (eg, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or Claude) so you don\u2019t allow your sensitive personal information to be inadvertently exposed to others, including some who might use it to harm you. Also, you can\u2019t count on AI to instruct you to protect your privacy \u2013 although depending on the wording of your prompt, it might.<\/p>\n

(In her video caption, she said she\u2019d partnered with Microsoft Copilot.)<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Robbins\u2019 office said in an email that Copilot offered privacy warnings once a person put in Robbins\u2019 exact prompt and shared the text of the replies they got when doing so. But when CNN used Robbins\u2019 prompt in the free version of Copilot it got slightly different replies and nothing like the privacy warning the spokesperson had shared. (When asked why, a Microsoft spokesperson said \u201cresponses will vary even when the questions are the same or similar. Copilot, like other conversational AI assistants, adapts to the flow of the conversation, tone, and context.\u201d)<\/p>\n

In response to \ufeffmany followers\u2019 criticisms of her original prompt, Robbins last Friday acknowledged their concerns and thanked them for the feedback in…<\/p>\n
