I noticed a fairly young person

interacting with AI the other day and I

was amazed with the amount of personal

information that was being shared with

the AI. Sam Oldman warns that there's no

legal confidentiality when using chat

GPT as a therapist. He said the

following.

>> People talk about the most personal in

their lives to chatt. It's you know

people use it young people especially

like use it as a therapist a life coach

uh having these relationship problems.

What should I do? And right now if you

talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a

doctor about those problems, there's

like legal privilege for it, you know,

like it's there's doctor patient

confidentiality, there's legal

confidentiality, whatever. And

we don't we haven't figured that out yet

for when you talk to chatbt.

>> He says the company understands that the

lack of privacy could be a blocker to

broader user adoption. Don't share

confidential stuff with chatbt or other

AIS. Pro unfortunately have introduced

Lumo, the AI where every conversation is

confidential. In their blog post, they

talk about how big tech is repeating the

mistakes from the internet's early days.

Instead of using AI to serve people,

they are turning people into products

and using AI to accelerate the

surveillance capitalism business model

built on advertising, data harvesting,

and exploitation. From what I'm seeing,

I must agree with this. AIS are not

being used necessarily for our good.

They are used for collecting huge

amounts of data about us. Proton say

benefits are too great to miss and the

risks are too serious to ignore. Whether

we like it or not, AI is yet to stay.

And the current iterations of AI reflect

a failure to learn from the past. And

that's why they've built Lumo, a private

AI assistant that only works for you and

not the other way around. No logs are

kept and every chat is encrypted. Lumo

keeps your conversations confidential

and your data fully under your control.

It's never shared, sold or stolen. So

they talk about how it protects your

privacy. There are no logs. Number one,

zero access encryption. This is really

important. So not even Proton can read

your conversations just like it can't

read your email, your Google Drive or

Google Pass information. This encryption

is open source and trusted by over 100

million people. There's no data sharing

unlike with other companies because

there are no logs and everything is

encrypted. They've got nothing to share

and Proton's European home gives you the

benefit of robust privacy protections

outside of US jurisdiction. The data

that you share is not used to train the

AI. This is especially important for

businesses working with confidential

material. It's also open- source and

operates from Proton's European data

centers. So they compare Lumo with

various other AI assistants. The moral

of the story is this is designed for

privacy. There are more options

available here. But I mean I think

that's enough talking. Let's just have a

look at it. So I'll run it right now.

What's the difference between a VPN and

tour? Notice you can run it just without

an internet connection or you can click

on the web search option to allow it to

access web information but it basically

gives you an overview of a VPN versus

the tour network. So it tells you what a

VPN does and then it tells you what to

does. So information is good. Talks

about the key differences with regards

to encryption being anonymous speed

trust etc. and talks about how some

users will use both tour and a VPN. If I

asked it something like news today, we

told that we need to enable the web

search feature for the most up-to-date

information. So, I'll do that again.

What's the news today?

And then click run. Notice it's now

going to search the web rather than just

trying to get information locally. So,

it's bullying information from CNN,

Associated Press, NBC, Fox News as an

example. So, give me top tech news in

the last week or whatever. And there's

some news that we could get. Now, I

started using ProtonVPN because of the

recommendations of Michael Basil and

others. This is a very, very good book,

Extreme Privacy: What It Takes to

Disappear. If you really want to enhance

your privacy, have a look at this book.

I highly recommend it. One of the things

I love about ProtonVPN is that you can

pay for this with cash. You can use

Bitcoin. You don't have to use a credit

card if you don't want to. They allow

you to use Proton for free. Connects to

five countries selected randomly, but

you can go for unlimited. That gives you

many, many more options and much greater

speeds. So notice with Proton Unlimited,

you can choose from,300 servers in 120

countries. Just recently in the UK,

Proton has seen a huge increase in

people joining them. This has been

covered on quite a few news sites, but

personally, I'd recommend Proton. Proton

Mail, fantastic, recommended by people

in the cyber security space, recommended

by Michael Basil and others in the

privacy space. I think it's really sad

to see that governments like the UK are

implementing what I think are draconian

laws, crazy privacy invasive laws, and

are basically forcing people to give

their personal information to companies

with all the data breaches that are

happening every day. Look at Have I Been

PEN got records of data breaches that

are taking place. Millions and millions

of records are being stolen all the

time. Troy Hunt's got like 15 billion

pony accounts on his website. Do we

really want to be giving our driver's

licenses, our passports, etc. to more

and more companies to verify our age

where the data can be leaked? Or do we

really want an AI looking at our faces

and recording that information? They say

they're deleting the information, but

based on what's happened over the years,

think of Edward Snowden and the US

government and the UK government. Think

about what companies have been doing. I

don't necessarily trust them to keep my

data private. I'm not suggesting that

young people bypass the laws of any

country. Please note that. Now, as an

adult, you need to decide what you want

to do. If you want to go to certain

websites, do you rarely need to provide

all this personal information? Up to you

what you want to use. I personally would

use ProtonVPN. For instance, when I'm

traveling in the US and I need to access

UK websites, I want to use a VPN because

otherwise those websites won't allow me

to access them. Or perhaps I think a lot

of people are using this so that when

they connect to certain websites such as

Reddit, they look like they're in the US

so they don't have to go through the age

verification options. VPNs are becoming

more and more useful. Notice these kinds

of signups that have happened in

different countries around the world as

governments have been implementing laws

such as in France over here, Vietnam,

Tanzania, etc. Many, many companies.

Okay. So, what do you think about this

development? Be careful sharing your

information with AIS like Chat, GPT,

etc. I personally would recommend using

ProtonVPN. That's what I use. I really

want to thank Proton for sponsoring this

video and making the world a more secure
