Roll on AI, say I. I understand most of the last 1½ columns. At the same time I can’t see how, once I have ordered an automatic fish-food dispenser from Global-Mart, they cannot see, and hence use, my name and address details. (For resale to advertisers etc.)
As I see it, the AI agent is merely a computerised version of a human private secretary.

Elucidation is sought.

Cheers

Although I should say that I have not yet understood some of this public/private key business.
Double-Blind trials I can grasp ....
