\u201cNone of those people I would leave alone with my children,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Dickinson is staunch about not posting photos or information about her children online, eager to ensure they don\u2019t have a digital footprint. <\/p>\n
\u201cNew Zealand\u2019s children are one of the most at risk around the world because of our lack of regulation,\u201d Dickinson says. <\/p>\n
\u201cFacebook just came out recently and said … we have been data scraping Australia and New Zealand citizens because you guys didn\u2019t make any regulation to protect that. So in the EU you can opt out as a citizen [but] in New Zealand … you cannot. But also if you\u2019re holding your child or you\u2019re posting a picture of your child and it\u2019s not private, we\u2019ve been using your children\u2019s faces and children\u2019s images have been created from New Zealand and Australian citizens and … you can never unlearn that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dickinson\u2019s family rule is simple and unapologetic. No public photos of her children. If someone pulls out a camera at a birthday party she\u2019ll ask them not to photograph her kids. <\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are like, don\u2019t be weird. I am weird. And if you knew what I knew, you would be weird too.\u201d<\/p>\n
She believes a lot of parents don\u2019t see the harm because they\u2019re not aware. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think New Zealand is so far behind the rest of the world on our AI literacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dickinson wants AI regulation implemented in New Zealand. In the meantime she is committed to raising awareness about the dangers of AI while also helping create technology that \u201cempowers humans and reduces digital inequality\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is moving fast. If you are not moving with it, it might knock you and you did not see it coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
The full conversation also covers prompt writing that actually works, why Netflix keeps guessing you wrong, the real environmental cost of AI, and what jobs are most likely to change next.<\/p>\n
