How AI Is Changing the Rules of Privacy – And What You Can Do About It For decades, privacy was mostly about controlling what you chose to share.

Privacy in the AI Era Is Possible—But One Risk Worries Proton’s CEO Most AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Assistant, and smart note-taking apps are becoming as common as email.

How to Protect Your Privacy When Using AI Tools: Advice from Proton’s CEO AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft Copilot are now part of daily life for millions of people.

Why Courts Are Banning AI Tools in Legal Cases (And What It Means for Your Privacy) In the past few months, a growing number of judges have started issuing orders that bar lawyers and parties from using public artificial intelligence tools during the discovery phase of litigation.

Privacy Is Possible in the AI Era, Says Proton CEO – But Here’s What Worries Him Using AI tools today usually means trading a bit of privacy for convenience.

In a recent interview with Spiceworks, Yen laid out how privacy can coexist with AI — and why one particular threat keeps him up at night. ...
Protect Your Privacy in the AI Era: What Proton’s CEO Wants You to Know Proton CEO Andy Yen recently told Spiceworks that privacy in the age of AI is not only possible but necessary—yet he admits one thing keeps him up at night.

Your Phone’s AI Can Learn Without Sharing Your Secrets – Here’s How Every time you use a smart keyboard, a voice assistant, or a fitness tracker, an AI model is quietly learning from your behavior. Historically, that meant your data—your typed phrases, your voice recordings, your health metrics—was sent to a company’s cloud server for training. But a new approach called privacy-preserving on-device AI is changing that. The idea is simple: the AI trains directly on your device, and only small, non-identifiable updates are shared with the developer. Your raw data never leaves your phone, laptop, or smartwatch. ...
