印度食品与即时配送先驱 Eternal Ltd. 正首次涉足人工智能领域，推出一款以隐私为核心的助手，让用户能够机密地讨论敏感想法。
Ltd., India’s food and quick delivery pioneer, is making its first foray into artificial intelligence with a privacy-focused assistant that will allow users to discuss sensitive ideas confidentially.
该公司在一封致股东的公开信中表示，其 dark.ai 平台在自有基础设施上运行公开可用的 AI 模型，并对对话进行加密，连其开发人员也无法读取。该平台还将具备跨对话记忆功能，用户可自行控制。
The company’s dark.ai platform uses publicly available AI models running on its own infrastructure and encrypts conversations so that even its developers can’t read them, it said in a public letter to shareholders. The platform will also have a memory feature that carries information across conversations, which users can control, it said.
Eternal 旨在解决人们对使用 AI 工具时日益增长的隐私担忧，以及私人信息泄露的潜在风险。该平台面向企业创始人、研究人员、科学家以及希望利用 AI 探索想法或处理敏感信息的公司。
Eternal seeks to address growing privacy concerns around the use of AI tools and the potential risk of private information leaking. The platform is aimed at business founders, researchers, scientists and companies that want to use AI to explore ideas or work on sensitive information.
“每一次与主流助手的对话，你脑海里都有一个小小的星号：总有人、在某天、在某地，能读到这些内容，”Eternal 创始人兼副董事长 Deepinder Goyal 在信中表示。“这个星号正是我们要用 dark.ai 消除的。”Eternal 计划于今年推出 dark.ai。这一举措标志着该公司业务从成熟的食品配送业务 Zomato 及其即时配送部门 Blinkit（与 Amazon.com Inc. 及本地竞争对手竞争）向日益激烈的 AI 市场拓展。
“Every chat with a mainstream assistant carries a small asterisk in your head: someone, someday, somewhere, can read this,” Eternal founder and Vice Chairman Deepinder Goyal said in the letter. “That asterisk is what we set out to delete with dark.ai.”Eternal is targeting to launch dark.ai this year. The venture marks the company’s expansion into the increasingly competitive AI market and beyond its established food delivery business Zomato and Blinkit, its rapid delivery unit that competes with Amazon.com Inc. and local rivals.
