The premise
Personal data stewardship is ethical practice as much as security; what you do with others' data reflects your character.
What AI does well here
- Audit what data of yours is in AI systems and review periodically
- Be careful with others' data (don't paste into AI products without consent)
- Use enterprise/secure AI tools for sensitive data
- Build personal practices that compound over time
What AI cannot do
- Eliminate data exposure entirely in modern life
- Substitute personal stewardship for institutional reform
- Predict how data will be used in 10 years
