Privacy-Focused AI


Listen Later

AI chatbots like ChatGPT have made quiet a splash. Companies are tripping all over themselves in a rush to add “AI” to everything, heedless of the security risks. But perhaps more insidious are the privacy risks. Most AI processing is done in the cloud, meaning that your queries and chats are subject to inspection, sharing, storing and monetizing. These AI systems are incredibly expensive to train and operate. And AI companies are desperate to feed them every scrap of data they can find. It’s a recipe for privacy disaster. But there are ways to make it more private and today we’ll discuss these approaches with Proton’s head of AI, Eamonn Maguire.
