Yes AI or No AI, that is the question

Many people want to opt out of AI features right now, but most tech companies are ignoring them. At DuckDuckGo our approach to AI is to only make AI features that are useful, private, and optional. Whether you are Yes AI or No AI, or somewhere in between, we think you deserve a product that gives you the option of whether or not to use AI features.Today we officially launched VoteYesOrNoAi.com, where you can personally weigh in on this question in a live public vote tallied anonymously by country and U.S. state. Where do you stand?We’ve also created two new versions of our search engine that tune settings to cater to both sides:* noai.duckduckgo.com - turns off Search Assist, buttons to Duck.ai, and automatically turns on the hide AI images filter.* yesai.duckduckgo.com - tunes Search Assist to often, features Duck.ai on the homepage, and turns off the hide AI images filter.You can also customize the search settings at duckduckgo.com for something in between.Thanks for reading!
