Privatemode AI

What is Privatemode AI?

Privatemode AI is a groundbreaking confidential AI service that provides end-to-end encryption to ensure complete data protection throughout the entire AI processing pipeline. Unlike conventional AI services like ChatGPT, Privatemode AI maintains data encryption at all times—during transmission, storage, and even during processing in memory.

How Does Privatemode AI Work?

Confidential Computing Architecture

Privatemode AI utilizes advanced confidential computing technology to protect user data. The service encrypts data before it leaves the user's device and maintains encryption throughout the entire processing cycle. The CPU and GPU hardware in the backend can selectively decrypt data within their internal structures, which remain inaccessible from the outside—even to privileged attackers like system administrators or data center personnel.

End-to-End Attestation

The Privatemode app and proxy verify the integrity of the Privatemode service using cryptographic certificates issued by the hardware. This ensures that no external party, including Edgeless Systems (the company behind Privatemode), can access user data.

Novel Zero-Trust Architecture

The service is designed so that no external entity can access your data. This includes both Edgeless Systems and the cloud provider hosting the backend infrastructure.
