Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations on free (or freemium) AI assistants that meet these criteria:

✅ Strong capabilities – Can handle complex questions and research. ✅ Privacy-respecting – Doesn’t train on user data, preferably E2E encrypted. ✅ Ethical stance – Not complicit in oppression or human rights violations (Palestine, sudan, uygur, etc). ✅ Not on BDS list – Companies that aren’t supporting or profiting from occupation.

Which AI tools have you found that respect both privacy AND human rights?

I’d really appreciate honest recommendations and experiences. Trying to find tools that align with my values without sacrificing functionality.

Thanks in advance! 🤝

    You’re absolutely right no AI model is completely free of ethical flaws when it comes to training data.

    But there’s a fundamental difference between models that have already been trained and those that are currently being trained using my data and files. I’m looking for the former—tools that respect privacy and don’t use my conversations to improve their systems (most people recommend thaura.ai for this purpose).

    Furthermore, I’m looking for options that are less involved in ongoing human rights violations—no military contracts, no ties to governments involved in occupation, and so on.
