Why User Consent Is Revolutionizing LLM Privacy Practices
Ask most people what “consent” means and you’ll hear about a banner that asks to collect cookies. That was yesterday. Modern LLMs ingest emails, tickets, docs, chats, and logs. They create embeddings, reference snippets with retrieval, and sometimes fine-tune on past conversations. If you do not wire user consent into each of those steps, you either violate laws, lose user trust, or both. That is why user consent is revolutionizing LLM privacy practices.
