AI Browser Assistants Capture Sensitive Data from Private Websites

A new study reveals a troubling trend: AI-powered browser assistants are collecting sensitive personal information, even from private websites. Researchers tested ten popular tools, including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Merlin for Google Chrome, and found that nine out of ten were capturing and transmitting private data like medical histories, banking details, and social security numbers. 🤯 This raises serious privacy concerns and suggests a potential violation of laws concerning personal information protection.
