Local Sources - AI Surveillance & Privacy in Public Infrastructure

Working on a journalism project about AI & privacy, anyone have stories or thoughts to share? I'm a local student working on a journalism project focused on AI, mass surveillance, and privacy , specifically looking at how quickly AI is being integrated into public infrastructure (OpenAI/pentagon deal, facial recognition, predictive policing, data collection, smart city tech, etc.) and whether our laws and regulations are keeping up with the pace of that change. I think AI can have a lot of benefits but the rollout is happening faster than governments can meaningfully study the risks or put guardrails in place. I'd love for this piece to include a local perspective since I go to college locally. I'd love to hear from anyone who: Has had a personal experience where they felt surveilled or like their data was used in ways they didn't fully consent to Works in a field (law enforcement, healthcare, education, tech, retail) where AI tools are being adopted and has thoughts on the process Has strong opinions — for or against — about how fast AI is moving into everyday life Just has a perspective on privacy in the digital age that they think deserves to be heard If you're open to chatting, feel free to comment or send me a DM. I'm happy to keep things anonymous if you'd prefer, just let me know. This is a student project, so nothing will be published without your knowledge and consent. Thank you all!

Nocturnal Lifestyle Case Studies for Denmark-Based Film Project

Filmmaker looking to talk to people who live at night Dear Night Owls, I am a filmmaker based in Denmark, currently in the early stages of researching a project about the night. The people who live in it are what interest me most — though the project is still finding its shape. I am looking for people who live nocturnally, those for whom the night is not an exception, but a way of life. I would love to simply talk: about the choices that brought you to the dark hours, what you find there that the day cannot offer, and how the world feels when most of it is asleep. If that sounds like you, I would be glad to hear from you here, or by email at [email redacted]. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you are welcome to share your thoughts through this form instead: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UdIFyXOHJqFDezlSVbyKbvRVX7TTAEcmuYtkro5ki6k/edit?usp=sharing Thank You!

Parents of Trans Minors in NY for Youth Healthcare Access Story

Journalist: Looking to speak to parents of trans minors (under 19) in NY. Hello! I am a student journalist with New York University covering the ongoing trans youth healthcare crisis. Our university hospital system, Langone, discontinued gender affirming care for people under 19 in September due to pressure from the Trump administration — and as of last week, was ordered by the Attorney General to resume care. Covering the grave importance of this care for the trans community is personal. I myself am a trans person. I would greatly, greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak to any parents in the NY area regarding what access to gender affirming care means for their family. This is a sensitive subject. Your privacy is my upmost priority, and I can assure you full anonymity. Shoot me a chat request. I appreciate your time and understand that this is a strange request. Have a wonderful weekend.

AI-Related Psychosis Case Studies for Documentary - Poland Preferred

Looking to speak with people who experienced a psychotic episode during intense AI use (documentary project) Hi, Less than a year ago I went through what is sometimes called an “AI-related psychosis.” It was such a large-scale and intense experience that it didn’t fit into the framework of my ordinary life or my previous understanding of reality. I’m stable now and trying to understand what it was and how to live with it. From my perspective, experiences like this are rarely openly discussed, which can make it especially difficult for people who’ve gone through something similar to return to a stable life. Often there isn’t even a language to describe what happened, or support that takes this kind of experience seriously. Out of this came the idea for a documentary film about people who have lived through similar states. I’m studying directing in Poland and currently preparing this project for further development. If you are based in Poland, that would be a big plus - but I’m open to speaking with people from other countries as well. I’m not interested in sensationalism or blaming technology. I’m interested in how a person returns to themselves after an experience that goes beyond their usual picture of the world - how self-perception changes, and how people deal with shame, loneliness, and misunderstanding from others. If you’ve had a similar experience and are open to a calm, confidential conversation, please DM me here. Anonymity is absolutely possible - both in our conversations and in the film itself. I take personal boundaries and privacy very seriously. English is not my first language, so I may use a translator in our communication. Thank you.

Snorers Using CPAP for Relationship Case Study - The Guardian

Journalist looking to speak to snorers about CPAP use Hello, my name is Natasha May and I am a journalist at the Guardian looking into whether there is a rise in people using CPAP machines as anti-snoring devices (rather than to treat sleep apnoea), particularly due to the social problems snoring creates for their partner. I am looking for a case study to bring the issue to life - if you or your partner's snoring was an issue but the relationship has been saved by a CPAP machine, I'd love to hear from you. If you are worried about privacy, happy to use pseudonyms in the story. You can email me: [email redacted]

I’m looking to speak with clients who have experience with these tools — whether your therapist used an AI note-taker during sessions, asked to record sessions with an AI platform, or discussed using one.

Cash Advance App Users on Revoking ACH Access for MarketWatch

Reporter seeking stories: Has revoking ACH access on cash advance apps helped you get your finances back on track? Hi everyone, I’m Genna Contino, a reporter with MarketWatch. I’ve been following the discussions here regarding revoking ACH authorization — a right that the CFPB has explicitly highlighted as a tool for consumers to stop automatic bank debits. I’m working on a story about the real-world impact of this process. For some, it seems like a way to finally stop the reborrowing cycle and regain control over their own paychecks when things get overwhelming. I’m looking to talk to people who have successfully (or even unsuccessfully) revoked ACH access with apps like Brigit, EarnIn, or others. I’d love to hear your perspective on: How the ability to pause these debits helped during a tough month. How the apps responded to your request (especially in light of recent terms-of-service changes at Dave). Whether having that breathing room helped you move away from using these apps entirely. Note on Privacy: To include your experience in the story, I would need to speak with you and use your first and last name. I know this is a sensitive topic, but I want to ensure I’m accurately representing the real-world experiences of users rather than just looking at the apps' legal terms. Your perspective helps clarify how these features are functioning in practice for everyday people. If you’re open to sharing your experience, please DM me or email me at [email redacted]. You can see some of my published work here and I'm happy to answer any questions before you agree to an interview. (P.S. - I apologize for the odd username. I never changed the one Reddit initially gave me and now I'm stuck with it :')

US TikTok Users & Creators on App Deletion for The Guardian

TikTok users in the US appear to be deleting the app at higher rates after the announcement of a new deal securing its future in the country. The short-form video app, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, has faced years of uncertainty in the US amid concerns over data security and a possible ban. The new agreement creates a US-based entity with majority US ownership and follows a long legal and political battle. App analytics data suggests deletions have risen sharply as the deal has been accompanied by changes to terms and conditions, technical issues, and debate about privacy, censorship, and user experience. We’d like to hear from people who use or have used TikTok regularly until recently. Have the ownership changes, updated terms and/or wider political debate affected how you feel about using TikTok? Have you deleted the app, or are you thinking about doing so, or have you decided to stick with TikTok – and why? We’re also keen to hear from creators about whether recent changes or disruptions have affected how you use the platform.

AI Expert Commentary on Small Language Models for FutureCIO

FutureCIO editorial opportunity - 29 Dec 2025 Small language models (SLMs) are rapidly emerging as a crucial asset for enterprises, particularly in regulated sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and law, due to their cost efficiency, privacy, and customization capabilities. Recent research indicates a notable shift, with 50% of SLM-developing companies deploying products, while the market's Mosaic score reflects their growing viability. Open-source SLMs allow organisations to fine-tune models with proprietary data, ensuring compliance and transparency in AI decision-making. As nations invest in sovereign AI and local solutions, SLMs are set to challenge traditional power dynamics in the AI landscape. I am looking for expert commentaries on any or all of the following questions: 1. How can small language models enhance compliance and data sovereignty in your organisation? 2. What strategies would you implement (are implementing) to balance the benefits of AI with the need for robust security protocols? 3. How do you envision the role of sovereign AI models evolving in the next five years within your industry? 4. What challenges do you foresee will be critical in deploying open-source SLMs versus proprietary models? 5. How can regional partnerships enhance the development of AI solutions tailored to local needs? Interested parties, please let me know.

Questions on Children’s Data Privacy in Nigeria for Digital Child Series

“A child is not a data point. A child is not a metric. A child shouldn’t be profiled.” Last Thursday at the 7th Privacy Symposium Africa 2025, I shared the stage with data privacy professionals Alex Onyia Confidence Osein Mercy Matthew Edith Utete Afolabi Khadijah Ifeoma Peters, speaking on protecting children’s privacy rights as they explored online learning platforms. We discussed the intersection of data privacy and children’s rights. My stance was simple: Parents, schools, and EdTech companies must move from being passive users to active Guardians. a. Turning privacy policies into fun, bite-sized checklists (the legal stuff should be left for lawyers) b. Teaching kids about the importance of data privacy – the what's to share and what-not-to's. It was intense, insightful, and exactly the kind of conversation we need to be having in this industry. But after the applause, the real work began. During the networking session (shoutout to Tife Ekundayo (CIPP/E, LL.M) , we reached the core – collection and retention of data, addressing the need for data minimisation. We concluded that most "Privacy Policies" were unreadable, dull legal sentences that failed at the one thing they were meant to do – educate the data subjects. Conversations with parents over the week made me realise that: 1. Most don't know what data is being collected on their kids. 2. Most don’t understand the concept and power of consent. 3. Most are unaware of the permanent footprint left by "Sharenting." I attended to share my opinions but left with a fresh perspective, a notebook full of ideas and a new network of privacy advocates. Exploring one of the ideas has led me to officially launch a new content series: The Digital Child. 🧒🏾📱 This isn't just for lawyers and data privacy enthusiasts, but also: For Parents: I will break down how to protect your child’s digital identity without banning technology. For EdTech & Startups: I will explain core child rights concepts that enable you to build "Safety by Design" in line with data protection laws, so you gain trust. Watch the full panel session here: https://lnkd.in/dJhFDiPH 👇 CTA: I am looking to feature questions from real parents, founders, and anyone newly navigating the data privacy space in Nigeria in this series. What is the one thing that confuses you most about children's data privacy? Drop it in the comments, and I’ll answer it in the first edition, which will be released next Tuesday. Special thanks to Sempala Allan Kigozi and the organisers for a wonderful time. Privacy is a duty of care. One we owe to the kids who will design our future. #DataPrivacy #PSA2025 #Childrights #PrivacySymposiumAfrica2025 P.S. I stole the first sentence from my fellow panelist Confidence Osein 🙈
