Yo-ai ASSURANCE PLATFORM FOR CONSUMERS
What could go WRONG?
Many companies consider their AI systems a "trade secret".
Explainable AI models and algorithms may sound good, but they need to be verified.
Shine the light on highly complex AI supply chains.

DISCOVERY
Continuous
visibility
into your personal vendor infrastructure
organizations cannot shut you out or shut you up.
Occaisionally, Yo-ai discovers some products and services which are UNACCEPTABLE.
Would you apply for a job at a company who uses people-finder websites from data brokers to conduct a background checks on you?
Or do you prefer employers who use AI to do that for them, like
DocketAI,
which scrapes personal data from ZoomInfo, a registered data broker, and brags about increasing ZoomInfo's revenues?
EMPOWERMENT
Empower yourself with Tools and Knowledge
Yo-ai levels the balance of power by giving consumers many of the tools, expertise, and resources that organizations possess. Yo-ai can discover their capabilities and leverage their own tools to resolve issues.
"When your vendor claims they use your personal information to improve their services to you, Yo-ai can monitor and quantify the improvement and factor in how your personal information contributed to the Quality of Service."

SECURITY vs. SURVEILLANCE
Is your employer or vendor
SPYING
on you?
Organizations often exploit the "security loophole" to hide or justify questionable business practices.
How many organizations do this? Who are they? Is my request being ignored or rejected on grounds that I am a malicious user attempting to breach their network domain or expose their sources and methods? Was I put on a 'suppression list' that effectively blacklists me from my right to choose who I engage with commercially or socially?
Yo-ai tracks all this and notifies stakeholders when these events occur.
"We used to get our network diagrams from Russian hackers.
Now that consumers can use Yo-ai to generate knowledge graphs of our entire supplier ecosystem and monitor traffic for unauthorized data sharing, a small vulnerability can matastacize beyond our domain and impact hundred, thousands, and millions of stakeholders -- often in less than 6 hours."

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Audit the auditors
Complaints are one guardrail for using AI responsibly.
Formal complaints can be filed with regulatory agencies.
Social complaints can be posted on internet forums.
Legal complaints can be filed in civil and criminal courts.
Many automated decisions can be appealed by filing a complaint.
Yo-ai generates and files complaints on your behalf with all relevant regulatory agencies and shares it with stakeholders like auditors, investors, academic researchers, and class action lawyers.
Writing effective complaints is an art. Investigators must be "sold" on prioritizing your complaint, and there should be witnesses -- other stakeholders, and an audit trail of causal evidence producing actual damage to not just one, but many, many consumers.
"We abide by all applicable laws..."

CASE STUDIES
How Accenture helps customers cut costs and increase profits
Accenture cuts costs using their proprietary, patented AI technology to reduce their clients' workforce (aka automate manual processes). Accenture also acts as an "intermediary", advising its clients on how to increase profits using dynamic pricing and avoiding non-revenue-producing obligations to selected stakeholders (discrimination).
Yo-ai generated a risk assessment on Accenture's use of AI for automated decision-making, using Accenture's own patents as evidence supporting this claim.
Adobe: How Yo-ai used Acrobat AI Assistant to pre-populate a risk assessment on Automated Decision-Making Technologies
Read how Craig S. Erickson, a California Consumer and Adobe Customer, used Yo-ai and Adobe's own tools to generate a risk assessment and submit it to Adobe's Trust & Safety Team and the California Privacy Protection Agency as a benchmark reference for future audits.
Privacy Portals: Selling Personal Information With Your Consent
Privacy firms like OneTrust, Osano, Securiti.ai and DataGrail provide platforms for consumers to exercise their privacy rights. These companies feature glowing testimonials from satisfied business customers but what you never see is a quote from Joe Q. Public saying, "I loved using this portal to exercise my privacy rights. It was so easy and businesses responded to my requests quickly and accurately."
This case study explains how these companies routinely violate privacy laws by limiting choices, collecting more personal information than needed, processing it without written authorization from their own customers, selling personal information (and AI-powered 'insights') to undisclosed third parties, and concealing audit records from consumers who can't prove they initiated 'verifiable privacy requests'.
