Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations on free (or freemium) AI assistants that meet these criteria:

✅ Strong capabilities – Can handle complex questions and research. ✅ Privacy-respecting – Doesn’t train on user data, preferably E2E encrypted. ✅ Ethical stance – Not complicit in oppression or human rights violations (Palestine, sudan, uygur, etc). ✅ Not on BDS list – Companies that aren’t supporting or profiting from occupation.

Which AI tools have you found that respect both privacy AND human rights?

I’d really appreciate honest recommendations and experiences. Trying to find tools that align with my values without sacrificing functionality.

Thanks in advance! 🤝

    Private, it is not, but there is an endeavor in India to outsource the computations to users, using whatever computational power each user can spare from their smartphones and laptops during low to no usage hours (nights, for instance). The idea is that with a population of the size of India, it would be possible for such a “p2p model training” to contend with big tech’s unethical data centers.
