The next stage of AI is getting organized now and it is called Agentic AI. What does this mean and why the buzz? This hot new topic means that finally AI is leaving the Chatbot stage and entering the era of Actions. AI can directly trigger things. This is not instant. Right now the connections between LLM's and the tools and resources is still a tedious process. But this has major implications both for the economy and for privacy.
Something very basic that the average person does not care about even if they knew about it. Your every click on a website is tracked. Every single one. How does this work? Surprisingly easy enough to understand yet apparently no one wants to explain this.
There are ways around this for the privacy conscious but the mechanics of the tracking has to be fully understood.
A rant. The most irritating thing for those of us who are privacy conscious are comments like "what are you hiding?" or "as long as you follow the law who cares?" or "you're paranoid".
I'm sure I'm not alone on this. Well, if you get irritated by this, then there is nothing wrong with you. Ignore these NPCs but you also need a smart understanding of why you do need to care and why these NPCs are the ones who are wrong.
The intent to scan content to counter end-to-end encryption is no longer theoretical with the passing of the UK Online Safety Bill.
How would the OS makers then build in client-side scanning? Let's tackle a theoretical project to do this on your favorite operating system (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android).
This would be how I would do it.
