Hype about AI research and development is driving companies to buy people’s data where they otherwise weren’t and, conversely, to sell people’s (including customers’ and users’) data where they otherwise wouldn’t.

This enables the repeat exploitation of people’s data and causes especially pronounced harm to vulnerable people and communities.
