“Is it safe to share everything with AI?"

Intro

Meet Anita Rao — a cybersecurity consultant who eats data leaks for breakfast and audits startups for fun.
And Rajeev Mehta — an AI advisor who believes if it isn’t automated, it isn’t worth doing.

They’re fictional. But their convo?
Way too relatable.

Rajeev:
Yo Anita! Just saved my client 3 days of work. Fed their entire sales report, targets, even investor notes into ChatGPT. Boom — crisp summary and pitch-ready.

Anita (nearly choking on her chai):
You what?! Bro, you practically gift-wrapped your client’s secrets and handed them to the cloud gods!

Rajeev:
Relax yaar, it’s ChatGPT. Not some shady Telegram group.

Anita:
Same energy, my friend. You uploaded sensitive info to a public AI model. What if it gets stored? Learned from? Accidentally served to someone else in the next prompt like “Show me a great sales pitch”?

Rajeev:
But they say it's "anonymised"! Isn’t that enough?

Anita:
You think slapping a fake name on top makes it safe? Try telling that to the DPDP Act. You know — India’s new data privacy law?
If personal or sensitive info goes public or is mishandled — the company’s responsible. Not the AI. Not the cloud. YOU.

Rajeev:
Uff. So I can’t even ask AI to write birthday invites now?

Anita:
Unless you want your boss’s birthdate and phone number floating in a training model — maybe not.

Rajeev:
Okay okay, madam Cyber-CBI. So what’s the move?

Anita:
Use AI tools that:

• Offer enterprise privacy,

• Let you host models locally, or

• Have an "opt-out of training" switch.

And never share client stuff without checking policies. It’s not just tech anymore, it’s legal territory.

Rajeev (grinning):
So basically — “Think before you Prompt”?

Anita:
Exactly! Or next time your AI-generated report might show up in your rival’s investor deck.

🛑 TL;DR:
Speed is sexy.
But privacy is still the parents.
Use AI — just don’t forget your digital sanskaars.
