How to protect yourself from AI scams
Protect your privacy and your personal details
Las herramientas de inteligencia artificial ofrecen muchas posibilidades, pero también implican riesgos. Estos 7 consejos te ayudarán a usar la IA de forma consciente, segura y con criterio.
-
Avoid personal info in chats
Don't share sensitive information, such as addresses, passwords, or bank details, since they may be stored or reused.
-
Turn off activity history
If the tool allows it, we recommend disabling chat history to prevent conversations from being used to train the model.
-
Always cross-check answers
AI tools can provide incorrect information. That's why it's important to verify content with reliable sources before trusting or sharing it.
-
Check which files are being shared
When uploading an image or file, make sure it doesn't contain private information such as names, number plates, addresses or personal documents.
-
Use strong passwords
Any account linked to an AI tool should be protected with a strong password and, if possible, two-step verification.
-
Control extension permissions
Before installing an AI-related extension, see what data it requests. Some may have access to your email, calendar, or personal files.
-
Never lose sight of privacy
The best use of AI is the one that combines usefulness and protection. Applying common sense and staying informed is key to using it safely.
