Proton launches Lumo, a privacy-centric generative AI assistant, which offers a chat interface, web search, and file analysis. Unlike competitors, Lumo guarantees not to store conversations or use them for AI training. Users can access Lumo for free and choose a subscription model for enhanced features. Andy Yen emphasizes the need for private AI alternatives, highlighting concerns over data usage in existing services. While some major AI tools provide privacy settings, these are not default options, potentially exposing user data.
"I think it's critically important, given the amount of sensitive information that we are dumping into AI, that there be a private alternative," Yen says.
"Before we created Lumo, I'd use ChatGPT sometimes. But then I'd feel really dirty after using it, because who the hell knows what Sam [Altman, OpenAI's CEO] is going to do with all my data?"
