WhatsApp is preparing to introduce an interesting novelty: it’s called Private processing And it is a function designed to make Chat with truly private artificial intelligence. The idea is to offer a way to talk to Meta Aibut without leaving traces on the servers and without anyone being able to read our requests. A nice difference compared to the current functioning
It will be one optional functionavailable shortly, which promises a precise thing: neither WhatsApp nor destination will be able to access conversations to when this mode is active. Once the session is over, everything disappears. No archive, no recoverable data later.
With private processing we can ask Meta Ai, for example, of Make the summary of a chatanswer a question or help in research, but with a strong guarantee: Nobody can see what we have written. The mechanism is based on three pillars:
- Requests pass by Meta serverbut the IP address is hidden with the protocol Ohttp.
- Messages are not saved: When the session ends, everything is eliminated.
- The entire system was designed for prevent access both in destination and external subjects.
An important difference compared to other services: Apple, for example, elaborates everything directly on the deviceand only if you need use the cloud.
WhatsApp instead works in the cloud, but Only if we activate the private mode.
To give greater credibility to the project, Meta has inserted private processing in his Bug Bounty programinviting experts to look for any flaws. There is also the release of a complete technical document, which will explain in detail the system security architecture.
The intention seems clear: point on privacy In a world in which an optional seems to be more and more. And above all, do it before a new wave of criticism.
