Independent privacy design: Proton positions its AI work as privacy-first, often away from large open data-train partnerships (e.g., not sending user data to third-party providers like OpenAI) and focusing on internal models and European-hosted infrastructure to improve privacy protections.

@nemo@mas.to Ai requires decrypted information and data to function. The question was why does proton who claims to be private use AI which is the antithesis of privacy. It seems more that you are defending the AI use. Plus those blogs are from proton themselves so they of course put themselves in a good light. Most people who wanted privacy do not come for the AI. We should not even have to see the problem. Deactivation ≠ low priority problem. Why does a private provider need AI in the first place?
