As AI becomes more personal, omnipresent, and powerful, protecting the privacy of our conversations, thoughts, memories, and intellectual property is what preserves human relevance. AI should be an exoskeleton that empowers humans rather than replaces them. We are building the technical privacy safeguards to make this possible, using encryption, secure hardware, and other means to make it impossible for third parties to access your brain: a prerequisite for human empowerment and flourishing.
