Can a fogging license plate holder fool Flock cameras? One inventor says it can. I talk to him about his unusual invention and the growing debate over neighborhood surveillance.

Plus, a woman dumps ChatGPT and the internet goes wild. A murder victim’s voice is recreated with AI for a courtroom statement. And a caller shares how ChatGPT helped flag a possible medical emergency.

I’m Kim Komando, and I’ve got the tech stories you need to know, without the geek speak.

Also in this episode: Amazon’s secret file on you, the catch with free smart thermostats, adult ads in kids’ games, bizarre AI job interviews and the latest privacy warnings.
