AI can protect your personal data, not just harness it. BeldexAI can process and learn from your data without sharing it to external servers. BChat uses BeldexAI to moderate content and provide a number of other features that make messaging confidential, safe, and secure.

This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. From chatbots to guardians of data, HowB chat harnesses AI for secure messaging, by Belldex. Digital communications are today hotwired, fast, unchecked, and silently monitored. Most of our conversations are overheard by big corporations or Evan State. Why? Because data is the new oil. Data drives how elections are conducted and presidents elected. Data is used to wage information warfare. Data fuels economies. Alright, let's be honest. It's not all about data, but according to a research piece by the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee, big data was valued at $272 billion in 2022

and is projected to reach $745 billion in 2030. How do they collect your data? We'd assume that messengers like WhatsApp wouldn't collect our data since they seem to claim end-to-end encryption for one-to-one communication between users. However, Meta, the parent company behind WhatsApp was fined, a record €1.2 billion, for violating data privacy laws in the European Union. Apparently, Meta was sharing data back to the US how do we prevent this? Surely, no one in their sane state of mind would want to share their personal information

to complete strangers. There are tools, unlike WhatsApp, that prioritize your data security and confidentiality. These are tools that are developed confidentiality first by design. Such tools that put your data security first are a rare find. BeChat is one such tool that's developed over the decentralized Belldex network and shares the network's underlying cryptographic security. From chatbots to guardians of data, when we think of i-assisted messengers, we're instantly reminded of chatbots.

Chatbots that help answer our queries or redirect us to the right help center within a 1,000-page website. While tools like chatgpt have evolved from such chatbots to provide real-time, intuitive responses to human queries, these tools still function with your data as fuel. BeChat, the confidential messenger on the other hand, operates by restricting abusive material, flagging spam, toxic and inappropriate content, all while sharing personalized text, emoji and gif recommendations based on your preferences. It can also understand language preferences, tone, and sentiment. All this is possible with Belldex AI, the confidential AI model that's powering BeChat's autonomous content moderation.

Wait, what's the catch here? How can Belldex AI understand my language preference sans sentiment without collecting my personal information? Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, there's no catch. Belldex AI can process and learn from your data without sharing it to external servers. This is made possible by what's known as federated learning. By employing decentralized federated learning, Florida, techniques, Beldex AI can learn about you and your preferences, train its local AI model on device, encrypt it, and then

send the encrypted information, remember, this isn't your raw data, over to the global AI model. This ensures that the AI model is trained without your data being collected, transmitted or stored in a remote server. Swann Essence, Belldex AI learns locally, from a number of devices across the network, to train its global AI model. Some of the real-life use cases. Phishing attack prevention consider Anna, a BChat user who recently received an unsolicited message containing a suspicious link. Traditional platforms would rely solely on users to recognize and avoid such threats, often with mixed results. BeChat, however, employs intelligent thread detection by Belldex AI, automatically scanning

messages for anomalies and patterns indicative of phishing. Before Anna could click the link, our AI guardian will promptly alert her, flagging the message as potentially harmful and thereby averting a security breach. AI-driven automated encryption effective encryption management is often technically complex and inconvenient for the average user. And besides, let's be honest, the average user would only care that their message is sent across to the recipient. BeChat ensures that the messages are encrypted through iDriven management. Beldex AI autonomously handles encryption key generation, distribution and updates, ensuring that your messages remain securely encrypted without third party intervention. For instance, when Michael, a traveling businessman,

accesses his BeChat account from new devices across different countries, BeChat's AI manages his encryption keys, maintaining his data's integrity and confidentiality effortlessly. Personalized security. Adaptable authentication understanding that each user interacts differently, BeChat's AI continuously learns and adapts its security measures to individual behaviors. For example, if Julia, who typically logs in from New York, suddenly attempts access from a foreign IP address, BeChat's adaptive AI authentication system immediately requires additional verification.

This personalized protocol dynamically adjusts security measures, ensuring enhanced protection tailored specifically to each user's behavioral patterns. Natural language processing for enhanced user experience security shouldn't compromise usability. Beldex AI integrates Advanced Natural Language Processing, NLP, to BeChat which enables secure voice and text interactions, allowing users to engage intuitively without compromising security. Alex, who relies heavily on voice commands while driving, can safely

send encrypted messages without diverting attention from the road, demonstrating BeChat's commitment to merging convenience with security. It can also understand Alex's slang, colloquial language and user-specific sentiment. Balancing eye integration and user confidentiality confidentiality is paramount to BeChat. bchat has stringent AI protocol implemented which ensures minimal aggregate data collection and emphasizes on device processing. Again, the data used to train the local model, on device, is aggregate data on user preferences, for e.g. typing patterns.

All this ISD1 while preserving user confidentiality, the local model is updated. The updated model is encrypted and sent back to the node. Many such local model updates are aggregated to train the global model. The improved global model is then sent back to user devices for further refinement. By processing sensitive information locally, BeChat reduces vulnerabilities related to data transmission, providing users complete

transparency and control over their confidentiality settings. Users who prioritize confidentiality will surely appreciate BeChat's transparent practices and minimal data retention policies, fostering trust and confidence. Looking ahead, as we look to the future, BeChat continues to explore innovative ways to leverage AI, including predictive threat analytics to anticipate security risks proactively and integration with decentralized blockchain technologies for enhanced security. Our vision is to empower users further, granting them autonomy over their digital

safety with personalized, proactive security recommendations. Closing thoughts, BeChat evolves from a long line of traditional chatbots but it strikingly differs from them in the way that it safeguards user data. By integrating intelligent thread detection, seamless encryption management, adaptive authentication, and prioritizing user confidentiality, BeChat sets a new benchmark for secure messaging platforms. BeChat will continue to advance along with AI tech, remaining dedicated to enhancing digital security and ensuring that its users communicate confidently

and safely in an increasingly connected digital world. Thank you for listening to this Hacker Noon story read by Artificial Intelligence. Visit hackernoon.com to read, write, learn and publish.
