AI-enabled wearables could spark debates about privacy, and the anticipated proliferation of AR and VR will likely set new privacy standards<\/strong> in 2024. At the same time, the significance of data breaches containing passwords is expected to diminish as two-factor authentication becomes more prevalent and users enhance privacy with assistant bots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Data Privacy Day is held annually on January 28\u00a0to raise awareness. According to Kaspersky, the privacy field is transforming due to new technologies and evolving regulatory practices. Major events in 2023 in the social, economic, and political spheres, as well as new technological trends, will be the main factors influencing the privacy landscape in 2024. Kaspersky experts\u2019 predictions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n While people have embraced devices like smartphones and intelligent assistants in their homes, wearables, especially those with cameras like smart glasses or AI pins, tend to evoke more suspicion. The overt nature of these devices could genuinely cause privacy-conscious individuals concern, assuming they gain popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple’s product launches typically draw public attention, sparking privacy discussions, especially regarding technologies that have not been appropriately regulated yet. With the introduction of Apple Vision Pro and the increasing integration of AR\/VR into daily life, privacy concerns are likely to take center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The growing prevalence of assistant bots, utilizing natural language processing (NLP), offers a compelling opportunity to enhance user privacy across diverse sectors. Envision a future where bot assistants are crucial in safeguarding personal data, particularly during calls. A sophisticated bot assistant could seamlessly handle user calls, ensuring sensitive information, such as the user’s voice, is protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The primary reason for the decline in fears of leaked passwords is the rising prevalence of two-factor authentication, where an additional code to confirm your login is sent via SMS or generated in a particular authenticator application, such as Kaspersky Password Manage. Additionally, some services, like Google, already feature \u201cpasswordless\u201d authentication via passkeys, while others favor biometric authentication over traditional passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In the era of evolving technologies, <\/em>private data must extend beyond traditional boundaries. The advent of AI-enabled wearables, AR\/VR developments, and the rise of assistant bots necessitate a broader understanding of privacy. As these innovations become integral to daily life, our concept of personal data must encompass not only what we willingly share but also the nuanced interactions and insights these technologies inherently possess,\u201d\u00a0comments Anna Larkina, security, and privacy expert at Kaspersky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about what to expect in the privacy field,\u00a0visit Securelist.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 28 January 2024 AI-enabled wearables could spark debates about privacy, and the anticipated proliferation of AR and VR will likely set new privacy standards in 2024.
