Proton denies tracking employee AI code output, cites added AI-era security reviews
inductionheads · x · 2026-10-31
Proton officially responds to criticism of its AI strategy: it does not install tracking software on employee laptops to measure AI-generated code — the rumor stemmed from a misunderstanding of how MDM works. It also says AI use will never come at the expense of security: over the past year it added extra layers of security review to counter hostile AIs scanning its open-source code for vulnerabilities. Commenters push back on the notion that using less AI makes software more secure.
