Joint Statement on AI, Algorithmic Tools, and Automated Systems, and New Yorkers' Rights
Joint enforcement policy statement (September 2026) from New York City's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, Commission on Human Rights and Taxi and Limousine Commission. It states that existing city consumer, human-rights, worker and for-hire-vehicle laws apply when businesses use AI or automated systems for hiring, pay, scheduling, housing screening, pricing or customer service, and that entities stay legally responsible for what a chatbot, AI agent or algorithm does. It announces no new legal standards.

Confer — end-to-end encrypted AI assistant
A full AI assistant — writing, images, web search, memory, file uploads — where every conversation is end-to-end encrypted on your device, so the company says it cannot read your chats, train on them, hand them to partners, or produce anything but scrambled text in response to a subpoena. Built by Moxie Marlinspike, the cryptographer who created Signal. Free to start with no credit card; the encryption and private inference designs are written up publicly and the code is open source so the claims can be checked.

Duck.ai — private AI chat from DuckDuckGo
A free way to use several well-known chat models — including ones from OpenAI and Anthropic alongside open models like Llama and Mistral — without an account and without the model provider seeing who you are. DuckDuckGo strips your identity and passes the request on, and says the providers agree not to train on what goes through it. Supports image and PDF uploads, image generation and voice chat, with daily limits on the free tier.
