WhatsApp is walking in a march between the features of artificial intelligence and privacy

Last year, Apple launched a similar design called Private Cloud Compute for the Apple Apple Artificial Intelligence platform. And users can turn on the service in Apple’s end -to -end communications app, messages, to generate message summary and provide “smart response” messages on iPhones and Macs.

Looking at private cloud calculations and private processing is like comparison, good, apples (s) and oranges. Apple’s private cloud computing, wherever it is used, subtitles all Apple information. On the other hand, private processing was built for WhatsApp and does not have wider features of meta artificial intelligence. The Apple Intelligence is also designed to perform AI process as much as possible and only send requests to Cloud Compute private infrastructure if necessary. Since such “on the device” or “local” requires powerful hardware, Apple only designed the Apple Intelligence to run its mobile hardware in recent generations. Old iPhones and iPad never support Apple’s intelligence.

Apple is a manufacturer of high smartphones and other hardware, while Meta is a software company and has about 3 billion users with a variety of smartphones, including older and low devices. Rohlf and Colin Clemmons, a private -processing lead engineer, say that the design of AI features for WhatsApp was not possible to work locally on the spectrum of WhatsApp devices. Instead, Watts App focused on private processing design to make it useless to the invaders as much as possible.

Clemmons says “design is one to minimize the risk.” “We want to minimize the value of endangering the system.”

However, the whole effort creates a more fundamental question, as to why a safe communication platform such as WhatsApp must by no means provide artificial intelligence features. However, Meta believes that users expect their features at this stage and go wherever they have to get them.

“Many people want to use AI tools to help them when messaging,” said Katcart. “We think it is important to create a private way to do this, because people should not change to a less private platform for their performance.”

“Any end -to -end encrypted system that uses AI’s deductive out -of -device will be more dangerous than a pure end system to end the system.” You are sending data to a computer in a data center and it sees your private texts. “” I believe whatsApp when they say they have designed it as safe as possible, and I believe they don’t say they can’t read your texts. But I also think there are risks here. Most private data turn off the device, and the machines that process this data will be the goal for hackers and opponents of the nation’s government. “

Watts app also says that beyond the main features of artificial intelligence such as text summary and writing suggestions, I hope that private processing will create a basic private processing to expand more complex and future artificial intelligence features, including more data processing and storage.

As Green states, “Given all the crazy things that people use safe messenger, all of this makes private processing computers become a very large goal.”
