Attested AI Assistants for Privacy

Updated: 2026.01.13 15D ago 1 sources
Build consumer AI assistants that combine user‑held cryptographic keys (passkeys) with server‑side trusted execution environments (TEEs) and publicly auditable attestation logs so that conversational data is technically inaccessible to platform operators, third‑party vendors and casual subpoenas. The stack is open‑source, includes remote‑attestation proofs and public transparency logs to enable independent verification and forensics without exposing raw content. — If adopted, attestation‑based assistants could force a fresh legal and technical fight over who controls conversational data, reshape law‑enforcement preservation/court‑order practice, and create a new privacy standard for consumer AI.
