AI Terms & Conditions
In addition to investigating the data collection practices of these apps, Ecommerce Platforms also dug into the terms and conditions that exist for these platforms to see how long it took to get through them and how hard they were to read.

Bing came in second at two hours and 20 minutes, while the term and conditions for Google Assistant comparatively took a breezy 56 minutes total.
Suffice to say, AI hasn’t made the nefarious data collection practices of big tech any better. In fact, given the swaths of data required to train these models into anything that actually works, it’s safe to assume that data collection is only going to get more prevalent in the coming years.
