"WhatsApp has introduced private chats with its AI chatbot which not even the tech company will be able to read in a new "incognito" mode. It means neither the user nor the AI's responses will be monitored if the feature is activated, and past conversations will disappear from the chat for the user."
"Will Cathcart, the head of WhatsApp, said he felt people wanted to have private conversations with AI on sensitive subjects including health, relationships and finances and didn't want them to be accessible. "We've heard from a lot of people that they feel some discomfort about sharing [personal] information with the company, yet they want the answers," Cathcart said of the latest announcement."
"Zuckerberg described it as the "first major AI product where there is no log of your conversations stored on servers". The technology behind WhatsApp's incognito mode is not the same as the end-to-end encryption the platform uses to protect other messages, but it is "the equivalent," Cathcart added."

WhatsApp has added private chats with its AI chatbot using an “incognito” mode. When activated, neither the user nor the AI’s responses are monitored, and past conversations disappear from the chat for the user.

A cyber security expert warned that hiding chat history could reduce accountability if problems occur, because there would be no access to prior conversations.

Most AI systems store some data, which can be used for training, while Zuckerberg said there is no log stored on servers for this product.
