AI can’t keep your secret!

When using AI, it's important to keep your private info private 🤫

If you give your TFN, bank details or any other personal info to AI, you might lose control over where that data is stored and how it‘s shared.

AI tools aren't always built to protect sensitive info, and they might not keep your details secure. The more personal info you put in, the bigger the risk it could end up somewhere unsafe.

If you don’t want it to be public, it’s best to keep it private 🔒
