   What a VPN can and can't hide from ChatGPT and Claude

   A TechRadar explainer says a VPN hides your real IP address and keeps your ISP from seeing that you use AI services, but it cannot stop OpenAI or Anthropic from reading, storing or training on your prompts, uploads, account details and chat history. It notes consumer ChatGPT and Claude accounts may train on chats by default unless users turn off data controls or use temporary/incognito modes, while paid business tiers have stricter default privacy terms. For more private use, it points to Proton's Lumo, which uses zero-access encryption, or running open-source models locally with Ollama or LM Studio.

   Proton's Andy Yen on age verification, Big Tech and privacy-first AI chatbot Lumo

   Speaking at Proton's Geneva headquarters, founder and CEO Andy Yen argued that age verification cannot target only children, so in practice it means everyone would have to show ID to use the internet. He also defended Proton's multi-product "ecosystem" strategy against Google and described its AI chatbot Lumo as the only truly private AI assistant, a company claim. Yen said Lumo is hosted in Germany rather than Switzerland partly in response to Swiss mass-surveillance proposals, citing a regulatory impact assessment that estimated CHF 30–40 billion in costs and 200,000 lost jobs over 10 years.
