Consent Right: Control over personal data used for Artificial Intelligence training.
This Act mandates that companies must obtain explicit consent from individuals before using their personal data (including device and derived data) to train Artificial Intelligence systems. Citizens gain full control over who uses their information and for what purpose, and refusing consent cannot result in restricted access to services. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will enforce these new privacy rules.
Key points
Companies must obtain your express informed consent before using your data (e.g., browsing history, location) to train AI systems.
Refusing consent for AI data use cannot result in reduced access or restricted quality of the service or product.
You have the right to revoke consent at any time, and your data must then be expunged from AI training datasets.
Clear and conspicuous disclosure is required, explaining exactly how your data will be used by the company or sold to third parties for AI training.
