Abstract
This study examines how AI platforms incorporate the principles of informed consent (IC) concerning transparency, privacy, and user autonomy. The research aims to identify areas of convergence, divergence, and potential integration between the conceptual framework of IC in Information Science and the Privacy Policies of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Co-pilot. By analyzing these policies, the study explores how these platforms communicate data practices, ensure user control over personal information, and align with ethical standards of informed decision-making. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of AI governance and user rights in digital environments.
