'Think before you type': Expert explains how Yahalomi case shows dangers of sharing all with an AI
Osher Cohen, a cyber specialist and the founder of Yo Secure, explained that most people are treating AI chatbots as search bars, but they share way more information and context
Assessment
The Yahalomi case is a warning that AI chatbots are not search engines. A search bar gets a query. A chatbot gets context, tone, and personal details you may not realize you are handing over. Osher Cohen, a cyber specialist and founder of Yo Secure, points out that people treat these tools casually, which is exactly how sensitive information leaks. The risk is not the AI itself but the user's assumption of privacy. Before you type, assume everything you share is stored, analyzed, and potentially exposed. The next step is watching how platforms handle data retention and whether they warn users about the depth of information they collect.
