A More Personal AI

Most of the chatbots in the news today are trained on public data (often including copyrighted data). But it doesn't have to be that way. What if you had a chatbot that could access all of your personal or company data, but hosted locally so that all the data was secure and private? You could ask it all sorts of interesting questions about that data, run helpful reports, and tease out important trends or do in-depth analysis that would be very difficult for a human to do. Basically, there are lots of uses for AI beyond ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude - and done in ways that preserve the privacy of your data and queries. Today we'll discuss how we can do AI better with the CEO and Founder of Empathy AI, Angel Maldonado.
