1/ You know that feeling when you enter your credit card on a shady website and think, "Can I trust you with this?". That’s how most AI & cloud computing works today. Once you hand over your data, you have no control over where it goes or who sees it. You hope your data is safe but you have zero proof. That’s where TEEs aka Trusted Execution Environments come in. So what exactly are these? 🧵

You. Yes, you. The one using ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and all the latest AI tools every day. Do you ever stop to think about what companies are doing with your data? Every prompt you type, every voice command you give, every interaction you have with AI - it’s all being logged, stored, and fed into models you don’t own and can’t control. Big Tech AI isn’t just "learning”, it’s extracting. Your data fuels billion-dollar models, while you get… what? A slightly better chatbot? Meanwhile: > You have no idea where your data actually goes. > You don’t know who has access to it. > You definitely don’t profit from it. AI should be sovereign, not surveilled. The future belongs to open models, private compute, and user-owned AI, not black-box algorithms hoarding your information. If data is the new oil, why are you still giving yours away for free?
