No options?


OpenPCC is Apache 2.0 without a CLA to prevent rugpulls whereas edgeless is BSL

I haven’t been able to find their source code. Pretty important for the transparency side of it. Have you seen it?


It should be able to support connecting via an OpenPCC client, then!


It does work generically. Like Apple, we initially targeted inference, but it under the hood just an anonymous, attested HTTP server wrapper. The ComputeNode can run an arbitrary workload.


Interesting!


Yep, you could run an anonymization workload inside the OpenPCC compute node. We target inference as the "workload" but it's really just attested HTTP server where you can't see inside. So, in this case your client (the wearable) would send its data first through OpenPCC to a server that runs some anonymization process.

If it's possible to anonymize on the wearable, that would be simpler.

The challenge is what does the anonymizer "do" to be perfect?

As an aside, IMO homomorphic encryption (still) isn't ready...


I think a technical solution is necessary, rather than a legal/regulatory one


I think we should have an opt-out standard via a subsonic signal, like DO NOT TRACK in browsers. Then, it's on the vendors to intentionally ignore a clear signal.

To that end, I've been working on opening sourcing https://dontrecord.me as a side project. Putting together a fork of Whisper that will follow the opt-out signal, too. If anyone one wants to help, please connect.


I don't see a privacy policy and their desktop app is closed source. So, not encouraging.

[full disclosure I am working on something with actual privacy guarantees for LLM calls that does use a transparency log, etc.]


I’d love to learn more about your project. I’m using socialized cloud regions for AI security and they really lag the mainstream. Definitely need more options here.
