Proton Chatbot is released from artificial intelligence that focuses on privacy

Proton, the company behind the encrypted email proton, Amnesty International Assistant launched It aims to maintain the privacy of the user. The new Chatbot, called Lumo, can summarize documents, create software instructions, write emails, and more, while storing data locally on user devices.

Proton says he will protect this information using Encryption “zero access”Which gives users a coding key that can only be used to display their content, and prevent third parties, including the proton, from accessing information. This helps to ensure that the proton is not able to share user data with advertisers or governments, or use them to train large language models, says Proton.

Although Lumo comes with the ability to search in the web, Proton stops this feature by default to “giving users maximum privacy”. If users enable the feature, Lumo will search in the web to get answers using “privacy” search engines. In addition, Proton says Lumo can analyze the downloaded files, but it does not provide any of its information. Users can also connect Proton motor files to Lumo, which are supposed to remain encrypted from end to end when interacting with Chatbot.

Proton Chatbot puts artificial intelligence as an alternative to companies offered by large companies, such as Openai’s Chatgpt, Meta Ai, Google’s Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. “Big Tech is using Amnesty International to charge a set of sensitive user data to accelerate the world’s transition to monitoring capitalism,” says Andy Yen, CEO and Proton founder, in the announcement. “Our vision of Lumo is Amnesty International, which puts people at the forefront of profits.”

Lumo is operated by many large open source models that work on Proton servers in Europe, including Mistral’s Nemo, Mistral Small 3, Nvidia’s OpenHands 32B, and Allen for the Olmo 2b model of AI. AI Chatbot will make requests through various models depending on anything suitable for inquiries. “For example, programming questions are treated by OpenHands, which specializes in coding tasks,” says Proton Betsy Jones spokesman. freedom.
