About this episode

This episode discusses the privacy risks associated with using AI tools and how user data is handled.

More people are using AI tools every day to ask questions, solve problems, and even talk through personal decisions. But many users make one dangerous assumption: that their conversations are completely private. In reality, AI systems collect and process data in ways most people don't fully understand. That information could potentially be stored, analyzed, or used in ways you didn't intend. In this episode, we discuss how AI platforms handle user data, why you should be careful about what you share, and the simple mindset shift everyone should adopt when using AI tools. Although this show does not provide specific tax, legal, or financial advice, you can engage Devin or John through their individual firms. 📍Contact Devin's team at https://carrolladvisory.co/podcast1 📍Contact John's team at https://www.rossandshoalmire.com/ If you're thinking, "I love the Big Picture Retirement podcast!" please consider rating and reviewing this show!
