Vitalik Buterin Deploys 'Paranoid Mode' for AI on Ethereum

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has revealed technical details of an experiment to create a confidential AI agent capable of hiding a user's identity from commercial AI providers. According to the blockchain visionary, the deployment of this stack precedes an update to the Ethereum main network aimed at radically reducing transaction costs (gas costs) when using zero-knowledge cryptography. The integration of AI assistants into the Web3 ecosystem has exacerbated the privacy problem : by sending queries to third-party cloud models, users expose their metadata and digital footprint. As a solution, Buterin developed a custom daemon client for his AI platform Pi, which supports the so-called "paranoid mode." In a demonstration test, the AI agent was tasked with finding the five best vegan restaurants in Tallinn.
