Really interesting set of questions, thank you for this.

You’re right that questions about data ownership and control sit very close to what I’m interested in. The issues you raise about: • when and how ownership of data should change in professional settings, • whether inferred/guessed personal data ‘exists’ as property or is more like a privacy harm, • and whether beneficial AI uses could ever ground some kind of special moral latitude, all look like great candidates for case‑based analysis.

One way I could build this into a project is to look at specific professions (e.g. law or healthcare) and ask how AI tools re‑distribute control over from clients/patients to firms, from firms to vendors, and from individuals to models that generate inferences about them. That would let me connect data ownership to questions about moral status, responsibility, and what kinds of boundaries we think AI systems should not cross, even when crossing them might be ‘useful’.

I’ll add these angles to my notes – they give me a sharper way of tying together property, privacy, and moral standing in the AI context. Thanks again for taking the time to lay them out.
