Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek’s $70 million investment in ai.com has sparked concerns over the unregulated power of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The company promises to accelerate AGI’s arrival with a decentralized network of AI agents that can perform various tasks, such as automating workflows and updating online profiles.
However, users are being warned about the potential risks and liabilities associated with creating an account on ai.com. The site requires users to enter personal data and may collect extensive information from third-party integrations, including screen recordings and audio output.
AI.com’s terms and conditions make it clear that users are responsible for any actions taken by their AI agents, even if they didn’t specifically direct them. The company also absolves itself of responsibility for data collection and processing, claiming it doesn’t control what information is shared or try to restrict personal details.
As the use of AGI becomes more widespread, concerns about its accountability and regulation are growing. Experts warn that the lack of oversight could lead to unintended consequences and harm to users.
