Shredded documents can now be recovered with a scanner and an AI.
They were always recoverable. It is security theater. It only protects from nosey people who would read random papers just out of curiosity.
They were always recoverable.
They were, but it was much harder and time consuming.
With today's tech you just have to scan the shredded parts and let the AI do the rest.
If you have access to that AI.
Access to AI is far more guarded than most people realize. Even open AI, which is founded on the principal of democratizing AI does not allow access to the public.
Or a lot of free time.
We had a Top Secret grade shredder at my last job. There's no AI recovery from that. The shredder in the jiff was definitely not one of those beasts though.
Did it have wooden doors?
It had metal doors.
