## Resource

Proton—the company behind the world's largest encrypted email service with 100M+ users—just launched Lumo, a privacy-first AI assistant. We sit down with Eamonn Maguire, who leads Proton's ML team and built Lumo from the ground up. Eamonn has a PhD from Oxford and a postdoc at CERN, and he breaks down how Lumo's encryption actually works, why Big Tech's business model prevents them from building private AI, the real privacy threats hiding inside viral AI trends like Ghibli-fication, and whether AI agents are safe to connect to your bank account. Listeners will learn how encrypted AI handles your data differently, what open-source models power Lumo, and why "set-and-forget" agents are still more hype than reality. 🔗 Links & Resources: Lumo by Proton: https://lumo.proton.me Proton: https://proton.me Lumo 1.3 (Projects): https://proton.me/blog/lumo-1-3 Lumo for Business: https://proton.me/blog/lumo-business Proton Sheets: https://proton.me/blog/sheets-proton-drive CLI for Proton Pass: https://proton.me/blog/proton-pass-cli Reserve your child's email: https://proton.me/mail/born-private/email Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter: https://theneuron.ai
