Columnist Mark Penn argues that despite AI's promise to simplify tasks, excessive legal and regulatory "digital gunk" is wasting billions of hours globally. He criticizes common issues like intrusive cookie consent banners, overly complex two-factor authentication, and CAPTCHAs, suggesting universal dashboards and biometric systems like Apple's Passkeys as solutions. Penn also points to the time lost creating new accounts, filling out terms and conditions, and dealing with endless legal agreements, proposing AI-driven autofill and plain-English summaries as potential remedies.
