How to use artificial intelligence with privacy and anonymity

On this page, I will teach you in a simple and easy way how to use artificial intelligence with privacy and even anonymity. Artificial intelligence is a booming field of technology. The pace of growth and development is rapid, doubling its capabilities in short periods of time. Although it is an incredibly useful tool, you may not have used it yet for various reasons:

• You think it’s difficult to use.

• You’re worried that what you do with artificial intelligence might be used to learn more about you.

• You’re not willing to install an application.

• You don’t want to create an account or provide your email address.

• You are concerned about your privacy in general.

• Your country censors the use of artificial intelligence.

If you have identified with any of the reasons mentioned above, I have a solution for you: a simple and illustrated guide to help you use various artificial intelligences, including some of the most advanced ones available, in just a few easy steps without needing to register or install any applications. All of this without compromising your privacy. Additionally, I will show you how to use it with complete anonymity.

Using artificial intelligence with privacy without anonymity:
Access DuckDuckGo AI Chat directly from your browser

One of the current ways to use artificial intelligence with privacy and anonymity is through the renowned privacy-focused search engine and browser DuckDuckGo, which has implemented several AI models while promising not to keep records of users’ data, identity, or searches. Using any of the AI models offered by DuckDuckGo is incredibly easy, you just have to access DuckDuckGo AI Chat and start using it.

Step One:
Access DuckDuckGo AI Chat

You can access DuckDuckGo AI Chat through any of the following methods:

• Go directly to the link https://duck.ai/. This will immediately redirect you to the DuckDuckGo AI Chat page, so you can start using the artificial intelligence models it offers.

• Or access the AI Chat tab within the DuckDuckGo search engine.

• If you use the DuckDuckGo search engine, which I highly recommend, you can also access its AI Chat directly from the speech bubble button. This is especially useful when you’re searching for information and then decide to ask the AI about the same topic. This way, you won’t have to retype anything.

Step Two:
Start using DuckDuckGo AI Chat

Once you have accessed it, DuckDuckGo will welcome you to its AI Chat. Click the “Start” button.

It will ask you to choose a model. The default option is GPT-4o mini, a fairly powerful version to get started.

Lastly, you will need to accept the terms of use.

You are now ready to start using DuckDuckGo AI Chat.

DuckDuckGo AI Chat will allow you to make up to 50 queries with memory between them. Once the limit is reached, you can clear the chat and start over. You can clear the chat at any time and as many times as you want using the button with the flame icon.

Using artificial intelligence with privacy and anonymity:
Access DuckDuckGo AI Chat through the Tor Browser

If you want your searches to have enhanced anonymity, you can do the same as explained so far, but this time using the Tor Browser (on Android and computer) or Onion Browser (on iOS).

Tor Browser is a free and open-source web browser designed to provide anonymity while browsing the internet, allowing users to access the web without their IP address being tracked. It uses a network of servers that encrypt and redirect the connection, making it difficult for third parties, such as governments or internet service providers, to censor access to certain content or monitor online activity. This will ensure that your searches on the web, or in this case, in DuckDuckGo AI Chat, are untraceable at all times.

Using Tor Browser is just like using any other web browser, though you might notice that the browsing speed isn’t as fast. Sometimes, it’s a small price to pay for privacy.

Step One:
Download Tor Browser

Download Tor Browser for Android

You can download Tor Browser throug the Google Play Store, the Aurora Store, the F-Droid or directly from Tor Project download page.

Download Onion Browser for iOS

Unfortunately, Apple’s restrictive policies do not allow an application like Tor Browser, so you won’t be able to download it from the App Store. However, the Tor Browser team has developed the Onion Browser specifically to meet Apple’s requirements and make it available on the App Store. Therefore, Onion Browser is your best option if you use iOS and want anonymity on the Internet.

Download Tor Browser on your computer

You can download Tor Browser directly from the official Tor Browser website. It includes versions for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. If you use Linux, it’s very likely that you can install Tor Browser directly from your Linux distribution’s application store.

Step Two:
Start using Tor Browser (or Onion Browser)

As already explained, the browser works like any other. The only difference is that you may notice that your speed is not as fast as usual, and some sites might not load correctly due to the protection this browser offers.

Tor Browser is a secure browser even for your daily Internet use. In fact, contrary to what some might think, it is significantly safer than other browsers. It is a good practice to use Tor Browser for browsing since it prevents your online activities from being tracked. Additionally, by using it, you contribute to making the network more robust.

When you start Tor Browser, you just need to click on “Connect.” The browser will take care of setting up your anonymity, and after a few seconds, you will be able to use it normally. You won’t have to repeat the connection process as long as you don’t close the application. You can also select the “Connect automatically” checkbox to make the connection process automatic whenever you open the application.

Tor Browser is already configured by default to use DuckDuckGo as its search engine due to its privacy-respecting policies. Therefore, the previously explained steps to use DuckDuckGo AI Chat will be even simpler. Enjoy your privacy!

Final Considerations

If you experience connection problems, such as the inability to connect to the Tor network or excessively slow page loading, you can simply close the application and reopen it. Sometimes this is enough to solve the issue without requiring any additional steps.

If you live in an authoritarian country, consider carefully whether to use Tor Browser. In some countries like China, Russia, Iran, or Venezuela, the use of Tor Browser may be interpreted by authorities as a form of defiance. Fortunately, Tor Browser also provides tools to avoid detection, but this requires configuring the connection to Tor Browser through bridges.

Tor Browser is developed by the Tor Project, a non-profit organization whose mission is to defend freedom and privacy online through the use of free, secure, and open-source software.
