I’ve heard mentions of the data centers that the Artificial Intelligence models (generative machines) use cause electricity inflation (in local areas they exist, the price of electricity goes up, as they supposedly do not pay their own bills). Could this be relevant to this topic here? [[User:Aus2004|Aus2004]] ([[User talk:Aus2004|talk]]) 06:15, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

== Unwilling/non-consumer protection? ==

Would non-consumers of AI getting negatively impacted by AI products in intrusive ways that should only affect willing participants and users of the product (not to imply that unethical AI practices would be made ethical if they only affected willing AI users) be considered within the scope as far as consumer rights goes?

This could cover stuff like:

- Mass data scraping of internet content regardless of the willingness of its authors to contribute to the training of the AI or the rights to use IP and likenesses of people for the AI company's gain

- AI being used for mass-surveillance, examples including, but not limited to, Flock cameras and Palantir

- The intrusive push for AI use in everyday software products, examples being Gemini being forcibly enabled in Google searches, causing websites in search results to lose traffic, Google tying search crawlers with AI crawlers (basically using the same crawler for both purposes) to force any website to either be scraped or be delisted, YouTube's forced auto-dubbing of videos in different languages and upscaling of Shorts, anything Microsoft is doing with Copilot, etc.

- Control of information, "AI slop", Disinformation (seriously, what is the purpose of trying to make AI videos indistinguishable from the real thing?), etc.
