AI Smartness With Data Privacy: A ChatGPT Competitor Offers Both
AI Chatbots like ChatGPT have grown, but all their learning is based on the data they’ve been trained on. But now there is an AI chatbot in the market that gives you all the intelligence of AI but does not peek into your data and gives you privacy. Brave is behind this new chatbot, and its AI technology is called Leo.
You may remember Brave from its privacy-focused web browser, and that same focus is now moving into the world of artificial intelligence, which is much more challenging than using a web browser.
Brave claims that Leo is an AI assistant that helps users get their online work done faster. It would be safe to say that Leo is Brave’s Bing ChatGPT avatar, and unlike the Bing Chat provided by ChatGPT, Brave relies on Meta’s Llama 2, another major language model on the market.
How Leo is an AI chatbot that takes care of your privacy? Brave points out that the AI assistant can’t connect between the user making the request and the IP address it’s coming from. This is possible because Brave has created a proxy network through an anonymous server, which means that the chatbot cannot access your information.
More importantly, AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Bing Chat need your credentials to create an account. Leo doesn’t need them to function and give you answers. However, if you’re still going to get an account to use Leo, it won’t store your data, which is encouraging to hear. Leo has both free and paid versions, and for the latter you get access to AI models other than Llama 2.
Paid users of Leo have other benefits, but the privacy part is the same for both subscribers. Brave will bring Leo AI to desktop users with Brave browser version 1.60, while mobile users will get Leo in the coming months.
