Privacy is a key component to the future of AI. We have partnered with the AI Media Lab to bring this digital creation of X to life.

The entire experience is anonymous and your data is not connected to you in any personally identifiable way.

When you enable audio recording when first starting the application, it will begin to record via your built in microphone and will be displayed as such. If you do not enable your microphone, X will not be able to hear you. However, you can use the chat function to send messages to him to communicate instead of speaking directly to him.

We safeguard all data in secure and encrypted storage via Amazon cloud with in-transit encryption and server-side encryption. We have various protocols in place for 24/7 data security monitoring.
