Think about what you've told your AI assistant this month. Your finances. Your health questions. Your legal problems. Advice about your relationship. Illia Polosukhin, cofounder of NEAR, points out that a lot of that information is supposed to be private by law. "There's no world where everyone knowing what you know, who you're paying for, what you get paid for, is like a good idea." Businesses are in the same position. AI is most valuable when it sees everything: every document, every workflow, all of your company's context. But if one provider receives all of that in plain text, Illia says "they can literally reconstruct your business." He says some companies already feel their business ended up in a model's training data, available to anyone for a few tens of dollars. The more context we give AI, the more privacy matters. @ilblackdragon @NEARProtocol near:native
