Déclaration du fondateur d'Astrohaus sur l'IA et la confidentialité

juillet 30, 2024 | 2 lire la lecture

L'intelligence artificielle a déjà transformé l'écriture. Mais cela ne signifie pas que vous ne devriez pas maîtriser vos propres mots.

Chez Astrohaus, nous privilégions les nouvelles technologies. Nous ne sommes pas une entreprise rétro-informatique. Nous aimons réfléchir à la manière dont les nouvelles technologies peuvent être intégrées à nos vies de manière réfléchie. Le mot clé « réfléchie » est ici essentiel. Nous pensons également que nous ne devons pas nous laisser piétiner par la technologie et nos valeurs.

Je tiens à être parfaitement clair : vos écrits sont les vôtres . Hormis la synchronisation avec des fournisseurs de cloud agréés comme Google et Dropbox, nous ne vendrons, ne prêterons ni ne donnerons accès à vos travaux privés.

Si vous souhaitez utiliser vos travaux écrits pour un LLM, c'est à vous de décider et de choisir. Astrohaus ne propose actuellement ni IA ni LLM, mais ces outils sont trop puissants pour être ignorés. Ils aident déjà les auteurs à réfléchir, à synthétiser et à éditer. Si jamais nous intégrons des outils d'IA, sachez que vos données ne seront jamais utilisées sans votre consentement explicite.

Et juste pour réitérer : l'équipe Astrohaus n'a pas accès à vos données, à l'exception de certains membres de notre équipe de développement lorsque cela est nécessaire pour faire leur travail afin d'améliorer nos services et notre maintenance.

Lorsque vous synchronisez vos documents depuis Postbox vers des services cloud tiers comme Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Evernote ou Dropbox, vos données sont alors régies par les politiques d'IA de ces services, et non par celles d'Astrohaus. Vous trouverez les liens vers leurs politiques pertinentes ici :

Dropbox

Google Drive

Microsoft OneDrive

Evernote

Astrohaus s'engage à promouvoir l'expression et à célébrer la valeur du langage écrit. Votre engagement envers l'art de l'écriture nous inspire au quotidien, et préserver l'intégrité de votre voix est au cœur de tout ce que nous faisons. Merci d'avoir choisi Freewrite comme partenaire créatif.
