Author here! I am the founder of https://snips.ai https://snips.ai. At Snips, we are building an assistant that is private by design: what I describe in the article are things we actually work on today :-) Happy to share my thoughts on it and contribute to the debate! More details about what we do: Like the big software companies (the G, the A, the F, the M), we want to build an AI to help you get what you want more effectively. But we believe this can only be done if we take care of people privacy: your AI should ultimately know your favorite restaurant, your girlfriend’s name, but also your health record and everything else you might not always feel comfortable sharing with the world at large. This is why an AI alter-ego will have to work with privacy-by-design. You should not have to trust any company whose CEO might soon be replaced by another not as trustful one. We think about your data as your most intimate and valuable property, and we want to use it without compromising its safety!
