Green, open and ethical? Chinese propaganda in Infomaniak's Euria, and a reflection on the role of Open Source AI: https://gagliardoni.net/#20260208_euria
Infomaniak is a Swiss alternative to Big Tech, but focusing specifically on digital sovereignty for the Swiss and EU markets. Like too many others, they couldn't resist shoving AI down their customers' throats. So, last December they launched Euria, touted as "the free, sovereign AI assistant to no longer depend on the American giants". The road to Hell is paved with good intentions: as you can see, their model is heavily infused with Chinese state censorship. In this blog post I explain why and what the broader consequences are for "open source AI".
