Google is sharing a tool to keep your data anonymous from AI

Today, Google released TensorFlow Privacy, an open-source tool that will help keep your data anonymous, even as AI learns from it. The now-public code is based on differential privacy. That's what allows Gmail's Smart Reply to guess what you're going to say by collecting data from other people's emails, and at the same time, keeps Smart Reply from revealing any juicy secrets people have typed before. Differential privacy is not new. Essentially, it makes sure AI cannot encode information that is unique to you and could therefore reveal your identity.
