As AI tools become part of everyday life, many people are rethinking their online privacy. A new survey from All About Cookies found that 40% of VPN users say they now use a virtual private network (VPN) specifically to protect their data from AI companies.
It's an understandable concern. Every time you interact with an AI chatbot, upload a document or generate an image, you're sharing information with an online service. But there's one important catch: while a VPN is a great privacy tool, it probably doesn't protect your AI data in the way many people think it does.
