#nil $NIL @Nillion When an algorithm knows more about you than you’d like to reveal
We’re used to being afraid that someone will see a transaction or a balance. But something else is far more concerning.
AI doesn't wait for you to post something yourself. It simply observes your behavior: when you make transfers, how often, with whom, and for what amounts. From that, it paints a full picture: your habits, risks, and even your mood—even though no single transaction seems secret on its own.
What worries me isn't just someone looking at a single operation, but what they’ll understand when they piece all the data together. That’s what hidden profiling really is. The system knows more about you than you’re willing to share and uses it however it wants.
Regular encryption barely helps here. Data sits safely encrypted at rest, but as soon as it needs to be processed, it has to be decrypted. And AI is all about processing that data.
That’s why @Nillion approach with Covenants is so fascinating. With Dusk live on Ethereum mainnet and their 7-Epoch roadmap unfolding, data can actually be computed while remaining completely invisible through MPC and trusted environments. For finance, healthcare, or personal AI agents, this isn't just a nice feature anymore—it's a necessity. $NIL #NIL
