AI development cannot be separated from digital privacy
January 28, 2026

In an era where more and more industries capitalize on our personal data and artificial intelligence tools are multiplying exponentially, it’s worth to make a pause and ask:

Do these technologies protect our privacy and our autonomy?

In this scenario, thinking about technology with care, discernment, and responsibility is no longer optional, it is necessary. That is why today we want to share something important with you.

Diversa and the Digital Autonomy Center (CAD)

A fairer, more conscious, and more inclusive way forward

We are embarking on a joint journey to strengthen a different way of thinking about artificial intelligence, data, and privacy. This alliance stems from a simple yet profound conviction:

Technology should be at the service of people, not the other way around.

We believe that AI can amplify rights, not put them at risk.

Diversa + CAD

We share the same vision of how technology should be built:

  • AI that respects privacy and does not exploit personal data.
  • Free software and decentralization as the foundation of digital sovereignty.
  • Accessible knowledge, created from and for the Global South.
  • Research committed to human rights.
  • Transparency and accountability in technological development.

Diversa, contributes with an ethical and situated perspective on AI: responsible governance, fair design, and technological solutions designed for the local context.

CAD, defends privacy as a human right, digital security, and the use of free software to achieve greater digital autonomy.

Each organization brings distinct, complementary expertise.

When we bring these perspectives together, something vital happens: We build real tools for real challenges, designed from and for the Global South, where artificial intelligence strengthens autonomy and protects privacy.

This alliance is important for organizations, communities, institutions, and individuals who want to use technology without losing control over their data.

Because secure AI is AI that protects your privacy!
