Privacy & AI at HOPE 2025 / by Robert Stribley

A man presents at a podium with a slide from his presentation appearing beside him. The slide contains information about an AI listening device called the Limitless Pendant.

I enjoyed presenting on the topic of how AI is affecting our privacy at the Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE_16) on Sunday, the 17th of August. The issues associated with AI and privacy are evolving at such a whirlwind pace, that I’m continuously having to update this presentation. I included a chapter on the topic in my forthcoming book, Design for Privacy, too, and there’s already much I’d add now if I could. Just yesterday, news broke that thousand of X’s user chats with Grok could be surface via a Google search. That would’ve gone in the presentation and the book, as well!
