I've seen these betas roll out fast, and the focus is always on the slick UI, not the underlying data governance. If they’re just automating clicks and tasks, we need to ensure the data handling is transparent and secure before we hand over beta access.
What To Do
Scrutinize the privacy policy of any beta AI companion before accepting access.
