What AI and Data Privacy Mean to Me – Sabrina Guedouani’s Perspective

I am not a data scientist. I am not a cybersecurity expert. I am not trying to be.

But I am someone who pays attention. Someone who cares about people. And someone who believes that what we create with technology reflects what we value — and how much we respect one another.

As I build and work alongside AI-powered tools, I’ve found myself asking deeper questions. Questions like
Where does this data go
Who can access it
Do users even know what they’re agreeing to
And what kind of world are we shaping through these invisible decisions

These questions didn’t come from a textbook. They came from observation. From motherhood. From years watching how fear, pressure, and convenience can lead us to say yes to things we don’t fully understand.

What I’ve learned about data privacy

Over the past year, I’ve been immersing myself in conversations about AI and data. Not from a technical place, but from a human one. And here are some of the things I’ve come to realize

1. Data is not neutral. It’s personal
When a platform stores your voice, your words, your queries, your patterns — it’s not just numbers. It’s parts of your story. Sometimes even the tender, unfiltered parts. That deserves care.

2. Convenience comes at a cost
It’s easy to say yes to that new tool or automation. But the easier something feels, the more mindful we need to be about what’s happening behind the scenes. Who benefits What are we exchanging

3. “Delete” doesn’t always mean delete
One of the most sobering things I’ve learned is that some platforms retain user data indefinitely — even when we think we’ve erased it. And that’s not just a technical issue. That’s an ethical one.

4. The absence of bad intentions doesn’t remove the need for boundaries
I believe most people building AI tools want to help. But even well-meaning systems can create harm when they’re not built with care. We need more voices asking “Should we” — not just “Can we”

Why it matters to me

Because I’ve seen what happens when people lose control of their own stories.

I’ve worked with clients who carry invisible wounds from past exploitation — whether by systems, institutions, or even themselves. Data misuse may not look dramatic at first glance. But slowly, it erodes agency. It creates imbalance. It disconnects us from consent.

And that’s not the kind of tech ecosystem I want to be part of.

What I believe

I believe we can create intelligent systems that honor human dignity
I believe in innovation that is not only fast but fair
I believe in making technology transparent and teachable
And I believe that the most important question we can keep asking is
How would I feel if this was my data

A note to fellow learners

If you are new to this topic, that’s okay. You don’t have to be an expert to care. You just have to be curious. To slow down enough to read before you click accept. To ask better questions. To keep learning.

That’s what I’m doing. Not as a privacy advocate, but as a woman in tech, a mother, a professional, a spiritual thinker, and a citizen of a world that desperately needs more conscious leadership.

Final thoughts

Technology should serve us, not shape us without our awareness.

The more I grow in this space, the more I realize that ethical conversations are not side topics. They are centerpieces. They are part of building a future where intelligence — artificial or not — still respects what is sacred.
