On September 15, WeChat employee @客村小蒋 posted an article on privacy-related issues related to “WeChat Xiaowei” in response: 1. The information Xiaowei can access will not exceed the scope of the information you can view. For example, if you have friends who are worried about whether your deleted circle of friends will be seen, don't worry; 2. Xiaowei will recommend some questions based on attention, browsing, and interaction data from public accounts, video accounts, etc., don't worry. This also follows principle 1; 3. Regarding chat history, only when you actively initiate “ask Xiaowei,” will Xiaowei be temporarily transferred from WeChat The client reads recent chat information locally. After analysis and summary, the original chat records will not be saved. The general “discard when used up” logic; 4. Some posts that say Xiaowei “directly reads chat history” and “peeks into all privacy” are untrue. According to reports, WeChat Xiaowei is a native AI assistant developed by the WeChat team and is currently being tested on a small scale. Users can use text or voice conversations to check the weather, check delivery, and order takeout; in addition, in scenes such as friend circles, public accounts, chats, and video accounts, Xiaowei can also be evoked at any time when needed to summarize content, provide more information, etc.
