# Introduction

In today's AI landscape, users and organizations share increasingly confidential and intimate information with providers of AI technology, without any solid guarantees of the information's safety. Centralized AI providers are opaque and and have strong incentives to utilize user data for their benefit. The emerging decentralized AI industry also lacks guarantees of data protection, and user data may become available to unknown and uncontrolled parties.

**Secret AI is a Decentralized Confidential Computing solution that brings trusted AI to users who value their privacy**. Built on the Secret Network, Secret AI leverages the [NVIDIA Confidential Computing](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/solutions/confidential-computing/) with Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) capabilities to provide fully confidential AI interactions. By addressing the critical issue of privacy in AI conversations, Secret AI aims to offer a secure, decentralized platform where users can engage with AI models without fear of data leakage or unauthorized access.

In addition to protecting the contents of user conversations, Secret AI also protects the metadata on AI usage - all the users’ payments, access to specific models, and worker earnings are recorded by Secret Network contracts and not accessible to outside viewers.

Secret AI is tightly integrated with Secret Network - it is governed by Smart Contracts running on Secret, uses SNIP-20 tokens for payments, and uses Secret Network's economic security. To learn more about Secret AI, review the architecture documentation [here](https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/claive-ai/architecture) :rocket:.
