Your AI Chat History: A Ticking Privacy Bomb?

Imagine you read this in the news:

Yesterday at 11:30 AM, ChatGPT was hacked, and the data of 120 million users was leaked.

While, thankfully, this specific headline is fictional, the unsettling reality is that such an event could be very real.

Perhaps your immediate thought is:

'I have my entire company history there,' or perhaps,

'All my personal health questions were discussed there,' or even,

'My new creative ideas and project drafts were saved in those conversations!'

In this blog post, I want to take a more nuanced approach to understanding the risk and security concerns of AI chatbots, especially for everyday users of ChatGPT and Claude.ai. The goal is to help you understand the trade-offs involved so you can make informed decisions for yourself.

I will also introduce a new chatbot from the Proton Foundation, which offers a different approach to data privacy.

Disclaimer: I have no interest whatsoever in any of the mentioned products. My only aim is to discuss the different pros and cons of products on the market, providing my audience with a better foundation for making informed decisions.
