Cybersecurity experts, including HackerOne CEO Kara Sprague, warn that anything typed into an AI chatbot can persist and be misused, advising people to treat chatbots like strangers: never share addresses, phone numbers or bank details. They recommend turning off model-training and memory-retention settings, noting that AI is also making it easier for criminals to hack personal devices and build hyper-personalized scams.
