Some possible implications of more powerful AI/technology for privacy:
1) It’s as if all of your logged data gets poured over by a team of super-detectives to make informed guesses about every aspect of your life, even those that seem completely unrelated to those kinds of data.
2) Even data that you try to hide can be read from things like reverse engineering what you type based on the sounds of you typing, etc.
3) Powerful actors will deploy advanced systems to model, predict, and influence your behavior, and extreme privacy precautions starting now may be warranted.
4) On the other hand, if you DON’T have a significant digital footprint, you may be significantly less trustworthy. If AI systems don’t know what to make of you, you may be the first up against the wall (compare with seeking credit without a having credit history).
5) On the other other hand (“on the foot”?), if you trust that future societies will be more enlightened, then you may be retroactively rewarded for being more enlightened today.
