Privacy & Safety
The Golden Rule: AI is a friendly assistant, but it is not your personal friend.
The "Stranger" Rule
Imagine talking to a helpful stranger on a bus. They can help you navigate a city, but you wouldn't give them your house keys or bank statements.
Always treat AI like a polite stranger.

How to run AI locally?
Running AI online means you need to be careful about what information you share, but there is another way. Running AI locally, on your own computer, removes all of those constraints. Your questions stay private, giving you the freedom to explore AI without limits.
