Featured guide
AI Companion Privacy: One Name, Two Products — a Guide That Separates Them
The phrase AI companion attaches to two different things: a workplace meeting assistant that creates a record of what is said in a meeting, and a category of consumer companion chatbots studied for the privacy concerns that arise in intimate use. This guide separates the two, using institutional IT guidance for the workplace half and a preprint study on arXiv for the consumer half, then turns the cited material into a side-by-side table and a checklist you can run against a policy.

Editorial method
