Ban companies from using any personal data to train AI without explicit consent

Open for signatures 245 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the government to pass a law that specifically bans the usage of personal data for AI training without the express and obvious consent freely given by the user.
We want the Government to do this, because we feel that the usage of personal data in AI training is a heavy breach of privacy. We are concerned many companies follow these practices making it almost impossible to remove one's self from the AI training dataset. It has been known for personal information to crop up in generative AI trained on that person's data, and for many of us is not a risk we are willing to take.
