AI privacy concerns are escalating beyond traditional online tracking problems. Chatbots collect more personal information through conversational formats, creating comprehensive personality profiles that enable sophisticated manipulation. Recent privacy breaches include Grok's leak of thousands of private chats, Perplexity's vulnerability to hackers, and companies like OpenAI and Anthropic implementing invasive tracking features, highlighting the urgent need for federal legislation before harmful surveillance practices become entrenched.
