Join us for a HRF x PubKey fireside chat with CEO of Maple AI Marks sharing how artificial intelligence can be used more privately around the world.
Maple AI is an end-to-end encrypted AI chat tool that uses open-source models to ensure greater security and privacy when using large language models (like ChatGPT – but privacy-protecting). Together with HRF’s Freedom Tech Grant Lead Harrison Friedes, this conversation will explore how political dissidents and human rights defenders leverage tools like Maple in their work to resist authoritarian regimes.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how open source AI can support human rights, and participate in a live audience Q&A with the speakers!
As always, this is a FREE and PUBLIC event.
