12/7 Reading Questions

 It's not really talked about in the article, but I'm interested what everything thinks about how the future of AI relates to user privacy, as it's something that I often think about, and specifically in relation to this sentence, "...a truly intelligent Maps could also conceivably know all sorts of things a close friend wouldn't... If an intelligent machine were able to discern some intricate if murky regularity in data about what we have done in the past, it might be able to extrapolate about our subsequent desire, even if we don't entirely know them ourselves." Will the inevitable loss of individual privacy through reliance on "free" services like Maps, Translate, Google, etc. coupled by their enormous amounts of data collection be overshadowed by the convenience and benefits to access of ever-improving "artificial intelligence" systems, like those with improvements as remarkable as Translate detailed in the article?
