I was truly surprised to hear this news! 😮 To what extent can our personal information be permitted?
Hello! AI technology is developing at a remarkable pace, bringing many changes to our lives. However, concerns about personal information protection are also rising. This is because many companies are utilizing user data like 'nutrients' to acquire the vast amounts of data needed to train AI. 🧠
For this reason, personal information experts repeatedly emphasize the importance of data to users, and there are already cases with billions of lawsuits underway. Legal penalties are being imposed on AI companies that train AI by illegally using books or videos. ⚖️

An Era Where Personal Information is Bought and Sold for Money?
In this context, truly interesting news has emerged. It's an app called 'Neon Mobile.' This app offers payment to users in exchange for recording and sharing their phone calls. The slogan, 'Monetize your phone data,' seems to be their motto. 📱💰
Neon Mobile advertises on its product page, 'Monetize your data and share calls anonymously,' emphasizing that recorded content is never traced back to the user. While the exact payment rates are not disclosed, discussions in Reddit communities suggest payments exceeding $19 per hour. Isn't that astonishing? 🤯
An Interesting Intersection of Technology and Society?
Neon Mobile seems to be attempting a 'techno-social stunt' that combines technology and society. The idea of recording phone calls, which are considered a highly private domain, and monetizing them is both novel and, at the same time, unfamiliar.
The question that arises here is, 'To what extent can we provide personal information?' While we understand the need for our data for AI development, what do you think about making extremely personal information, such as call content, a target for monetization?
Data Sovereignty: It's Time for Us to Protect It
The value of personal information is increasing in the age of AI. We need to deeply consider how our valuable data is being utilized and what impact it can have on us. 🤔
Apps like Neon Mobile offer users opportunities to earn through their data, but simultaneously, they further ignite societal discussions about personal information protection. We must not only focus on technological advancement but also carefully consider the impact of that technology on human lives and personal information.
