Mark Penn: How to save a billion and a half hours
AI is supposed to make our lives easier by taking the drudgery out of everything and yet years into this new future, more time than ever is being wasted with legal nonsense that keeps gumming up the internet. It’s easier than ever to save humanity a billion and a half hours, and it won’t take a single technological breakthrough — just common sense.
TL;DR
- Excessive legal requirements on the internet, such as consent banners and terms and conditions, waste billions of hours.
- Proposed solutions include a universal cookie consent dashboard, biometric authentication (Passkeys), AI for autofilling forms, and plain English summaries of terms.
- These changes are suggested to streamline digital interactions and prevent future AI tools from being burdened by the same legal nonsense.
