if we want to stay relevant in AI-powered future.

I have two arguments here.

1. The kind of data Facebook collects has nothing to do with AI, but advertising.

2. Even it mattered for AI, why do you think staying relevant in AI-powered future is more important than our privacy?

Wouldn't Facebook try to create 'AI's that mimic their users so that they can then predict what the 'highest value' advertisement is to show to the user at Facebook's next possible opportunity?

AI-powered future

As if there weren't already enough dystopian scifi around to make you think twice about whether that's actually a good thing...

That sounds like a great way for We (people of Western countries) to become irrelevant in AI-powered future.

I hope this is satire

Okay. The issue is who is control of the data, individuals who live and generate that data, or companies who collect and share it with out their customers' knowledge and understanding?
