Mark's Background in Privacy and Cloud

Former Apple employee, Mark Suman explains why Apple refused to allow ChatGPT internally and what that reveals about how AI systems are learning how we think.

Most people are now using AI every day - for work, personal decisions, even private conversations. But as Mark explains, the more we share, the more these systems begin to model our behaviour, often understanding our thinking patterns better than we do ourselves.

This raises a deeper question: what happens when intelligence is centralised, and systems can influence not just what we do, but how we think?

We discuss privacy, data, government power, and the trade-offs between convenience and control and why the biggest risks of AI are not in the future, but already happening now.
