Food for AI
PeerStorage was created to give users control over their personal data. In addition to the issues discussed in the website pages, there is another one: Artificial Intelligence.
An AI operates (takes decisions, or issues recommendations) in the interest of its owner (at this stage it is interesting to note that one can talk about the owner for an AI, but this is another debate). If the AI belongs to the user, it will act in the user’s interest. If it belongs to a company or community, it will act for these.
Since an AI needs data to learn and then to take decisions, it is in the user’s interest that his data be accessible only by AIs under his control (think of a personal assistant). PeerStorage has the additional aim of depriving third party AIs, i.e. those outside the user’s control, of his or her personal data.
