As AI companions and chatbots become more popular, privacy is likely the main concern users have. Pi AI, a personal AI developed by Inflection AI, has become one of the more popular AI chat interfaces that feels like a friend and has created a huge buzz with its conversational style. But as you are chatting with Pi AI, one of the most common questions that will come to your mind is: Does Pi AI report my conversations?
In this article, we will dive into the topic of privacy – from what Pi AI is and how it stores or uses any data, and possibly other privacy questions that users are asking.

What Is Pi AI?

Pi AI, or short for “Personal Intelligence,” is an AI chatbot that is designed to be civil, cooperative, helpful, and empathetic. Pi aims to leverage machine learning techniques to provide emotional support and companionship. Pi functions more like a thoughtful human listener, rather than a transactional task-based assistant.

But you can see how with an interaction that is so humanized (maybe like a friend or a therapist), the next question comes naturally…

Does Pi AI Report Or Share My Conversations?

The short answer: No, Pi AI does not “report” your conversations in the traditional sense. However, please remember that like nearly all AI platforms, there is always a possibility that conversations are being monitored or recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.

According to Inflection AI’s privacy policy, it has the right to collect any data you provide to them in conversations for the purposes of monitoring and improving the responses of the AI.

While Pi AI does not divulge or report your chats like a person would, it isn’t private in the way you might think. You should avoid disclosing any personal or sensitive information unless you are comfortable with it being stored.

Is Pi AI Encrypted?

Pi AI indicates that it uses encryption and security measures to protect conversations, but it does not directly state that it uses end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Your conversations may still be seen by developers for improving performance/learning.

Who Can See My Pi AI Conversations?

Only authorized employees at Inflection AI can see chat logs for moderation or use Pi’s response to improve its performance. Conversations aren’t going to be shared publicly like other public databases, nor are they going to be shared with others outside of Inflection AI unless required by the law (i.e., threats, self-harm, illegal content).

Can Pi AI Be Used Against Me?

It is a slim chance, but it is possible. If you say something in a chat that raises a serious concern (threat of violence or harm), AI platforms may be required to notify or act upon, which sometimes requires reporting, depending on local jurisdiction.

Pi AI is designed to be a safe companion, but it is always a good idea to be cautious about what you share.

Is Pi AI Safe for Teens or Children?

Although the platform projects a friendly and non-judgmental space, it’s still an AI, created by a private company that retains user data. Because of this, children and teens should ideally be supervised to ensure they do not engage in any sensitive subjects.

Commonly asked questions

1. Can AI bots like Pi be subpeona’d in a court of law?

In theory, yes, the conversations can be stored and subpeona’d if law enforcement were to become involved.

2. Does Pi AI remember my earlier conversations?

Pi tries to maintain short-term context during a single session, but long-term memory is limited at this point in time.

3. Is Pi AI a better than ChatGPT for private conversations?

Pi AI is more emotionally intelligent, but ChatGPT may provide a more structured response. In terms of privacy, both services operate under comparable policies stating that conversations may be stored and reviewed in some aspect.

4. How can I delete my Pi AI chat history?

Pi AI does not currently have an important or helpful “delete conversations” feature. At this time, you may request Inflection AI to delete your account data instead.

Conclusion

Pi AI does not “report” conversations to others; however, Pi AI may store and/or review your conversations to increase efficiency. If you have privacy concerns regarding this bot, you may want to act as if someone may read your conversations eventually.

Rule of thumb? Be cautious with personal, financial, or sensitive info — just like you would with any app.
