What information should you not send to AI?
AI is convenient, but don't treat it as a private space to confide in. Avoid entering:
- ID numbers, bank card numbers, passwords and verification codes.
- Unpublished business secrets, customer data, original contracts.
- Other people's private information (name plus phone plus address).
Safer habits
- When handling sensitive documents, replace names, amounts and company names with placeholders first.
- Check settings for options such as “use my conversations to train models” (location differs by product).
- Each AI service has its own data policy; read the official privacy notes before important uses.
