    Pinned comment on original article says:

    Didn’t see it mentioned in the article, but per the linked FAQ it says the alpha AI applies to:

    In countries with the preferred language set to English.

    Excluding Canada, the UK (United Kingdom), and countries within the EEA (European Economic Area).

      Hmm. I’m in the US. But I maybe I didn’t tell Dropbox I prefer English back when I signed up nearly 20 years ago.

        Closest I can think of is “FOIPP” (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy) in Alberta at least (not sure if the rest of the country has equivalents). But that’s mostly things like “you can’t share this confidential email with someone else without my permission” kind of thing.
