⚖️ Myth #1: AI Steals Your Data

Myth #1: AI Steals Your Data

False. It’s not the AI stealing your data—it’s the platform hosting it.

🔹 The Truth: When you interact with an AI model like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, or Claude, the model itself doesn’t steal data. Instead, the company hosting it decides how to handle user inputs.

🔍 Case in Point:

• OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Perplexity all process prompts via servers, but their data policies differ.
• Open-weight models (like DeepSeek R1) allow users to run AI locally, ensuring privacy.
• API-based models (like OpenAI’s GPT-4) require trust in the host’s data security policies.

💡 Takeaway: The risk isn’t in using AI—it’s in who you trust to host it. Want full control? Use open-weight AI models that let you run AI on your own device.
