Why I recommend it: One writer's opinion piece.
Ben Hylak argues that as AI agents start negotiating with each other on our behalf, our privacy will depend on how well those agents handle social situations.
Why I recommend it: An opinion essay by a startup founder, not research. Good prompt for thinking about what you let an agent share.
OpenAI help article on Trusted Contact: an optional adult (18+) feature that may notify one person you choose if automated systems and trained reviewers detect a serious suicide-related safety concern.
Why I recommend it: Worth reading before you turn it on: it involves human reviewers reading flagged conversations and sharing an alert with someone else. OpenAI says it is not an emergency service. Not available in Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspaces.
A duty-by-duty walkthrough of California's automated decisionmaking technology rules — approved 23 September 2025, in effect from 1 January 2026, with ADMT obligations from 1 January 2027 — and where each duty can actually be enforced in a system. Covers pre-use notice, opt-out, human review, appeals and per-decision record keeping. The rules apply when computation replaces human judgment on a significant decision about work, money, housing, education or health.
Why I recommend it: The clearest free explanation I have found of what these rules require, and the section on significant decisions is directly relevant if an employer screens you by machine — you get notice, an opt-out and a route to a human. Read it knowing DeepInspect sells the kind of control it describes, so the framing pushes toward buying a product; the legal dates and duties are checkable against the state agency's own page, which it links.
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.
Why I recommend it: This is the one to reach for when you are about to type something into an AI that you would not want read back to you — money trouble, health, a manager, a visa problem. Two honest things. It is free to start, which is not the same as free forever, so read the plan page before you rely on it. And encryption protects the message, not your judgment: anything you paste in that belongs to an employer or a client is still their information, whoever can or cannot read it.
