Gamma.app: An AI Tool Meant to Assist Individuals with Presentations

What is Gamma.app?

Gamma is an AI-powered app that helps users create presentations, documents, and web pages. It can create presentations from text notes, URLs, or a single topic. It can include images, videos, charts, graphs, and interactive elements. Users can export presentations as PDFs or PowerPoints, or publish them to a website.

How can I use Gamma.app?

Gamma.app has many uses, including:

• Content generation: Gamma can create presentations with text, images, videos, charts, graphs, and interactive elements. You can start with a one-line prompt or a more detailed outline. Gamma can also help you restyle your entire deck with a single click.
• Tracking engagement: Gamma can track how many times users view or interact with your presentation.
• Exporting slides: You can export your presentation to PDF or PowerPoint.
• Image editing: Gamma can be used to edit online images for use in presentations using features linked from sites like Unsplash and GIPHY.

Why should I take care when using Gamma.app?

While generative AI tools can help users with such tasks as creating and incorporating online content into presentations, certain AI tools like Gamma.app have been used in the production of images, videos, or audio recordings that have been edited using an algorithm to replace the person in the original with someone else in a way that makes it look real. Also known as "deepfakes," these fabrications can be used to harass, intimidate, demean and undermine people. Deepfakes can also be used to create misinformation and confusion about important issues, and thus are particularly dangerous.

Another major concern with using Gamma.app and other generative AI tools to make presentations centers on the issue of privacy. When training AI, a major privacy concern is the potential for sensitive personal information to be used without proper consent, leading to issues like unauthorized access, discriminatory outcomes, and a general lack of transparency about the ways in which the information of the user is shared with or collected by AI. More specifically, most generative AI tools like Gamma.app owe their ability to generate new information to their exposure to and training on large amounts of user data. In using Gamma.app and other generative AI tools to craft presentations, users may unwittingly share personal or sensitive information. To complicate matters, the privacy policies of some generative AI tools, such as that maintained by Gamma.app, empowers AI developers to sell whatever information they collect about users to third parties. Even if a user does not share personally identifying information with Gamma.app or another generative AI tool, the mere act of using the AI tool subjects the user to the risk of re-identification, as the information they share with the AI tool may contain patterns that allow for third party actors to make inferences about the provider of the data, thus enabling them to link it back to a specific individual.
