-There's [Github Copilot](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub_Copilot), an AI productivity tool which helps programmers be more efficient. Just a few weeks ago, [Microsoft announced an AI assistant for Microsoft office](https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/03/16/introducing-microsoft-365-copilot-your-copilot-for-work/). School children use [OpenAI's ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/chat) to do their homework. These AI productivity tools may not be essential just yet, but they'll get better. And as they get better, it may eventually become infeasible to even compete in the workforce without being AI assisted since those willing to use it AI will have a huge advantage over you.

The same thing could happen in people's personal lives. We may eventually reach a point where nearly everything people do is AI-assisted. Want to learn how to cook? Your smart assistant will teach you with a teaching style that's personalized to you. Need to improve your diet and exercise habits? Your AI smart home will create a personalized healthy diet and exercise regime that works for you. Your AI therapist will listen to all your problems free of charge and offer scientifically supported advice for your unique problem. AI may even augment your sex life. It will reach a point where people who refuse to use AI assistants are at a distinct disadvantage compared to those who use AI.

So currently, the only way to protect your privacy from the most powerful AIs is to sacrifice all the benefits of using them. As is happening with smartphones, making this sacrifice for your privacy may become prohibitively inconvenient. On the other hand, regulating AI so that, by law, it must be democratized, giving users full personal control over powerful AI systems probably isn't a good idea. Safeguards will be removed. It'll be misused for malicious ends. And as AI gets more powerful, giving everyone access just becomes reckless.
-So how do we proceed? I don't think I have the required expertise to offer any concrete advice except to say that [homomorphic encryption](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption) may be part of the solution. It wouldn't solve all the problems with AI, but at least it would allow powerful AI to benefit users without compromising their privacy or giving them full unrestricted access.
