In today's AI-powered workplace, the question is not whether to use AI—it is how to use it safely. While tools like ChatGPT have captured the world's attention, the real challenge for businesses is finding the right balance between innovation, performance and security. Let us explore how Ayfie helps you navigate this landscape with confidence.
The AI privacy challenge
When you interact with an AI language model, your data takes a journey. It travels from your device to servers, gets processed, and returns with an answer. But what happens to your data along the way? Recent privacy research shows that practices vary dramatically between AI providers:
- Some providers use your conversations to improve their models
- Others share data with third parties or corporate partners
- Many have privacy policies so complex they require graduate-level education to understand
- Mobile apps often collect additional data like location and phone numbers
This inconsistency creates a real challenge for businesses that need to maintain control over sensitive information while benefiting from AI capabilities.
Ayfie's approach: Security through flexibility
As a Norwegian software company built on strict Nordic privacy standards, we understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to AI security. That is why Ayfie Personal Assistant offers multiple deployment options, each designed to match your specific security requirements and budget.
