An audit for AI? (piefed.social)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Libb@piefed.social to c/privacy@programming.dev
 

Disclaimer: I'm a paid customer of Infomaniak's KSuite (a Swiss 'ethical' cloud offering). Next to the cloud storage and email and a few other extra, I recently noticed they have a 'privacy respecting' AI called Euria (which they also claims to be green-ish): https://www.infomaniak.com/en/euria

Overall, I'm very satisfied with their services but I'm also not much into using AI and don't plan to change that, and I was wondering: how does one make sure an AI is indeed privacy-respecting? I mean, is there an independent audit of some sort like there are for VPNs?

You can't. The cloud is a black box, and LLMs are not E2E encrypted. Also VPN audits can be fake. Download your own LLM if you want but you will suffer unless you have a powerful machine.

Thx. That's what I was thinking. More or less. But I won't download my own local AI either as I really don't wish to use one. I was just curious to know if there was any way to... control this kind of claims.
