<p>The paper introduces Clio, a privacy-preserving system using AI to analyze aggregated data from millions of AI assistant conversations. Clio identifies usage patterns, revealing common tasks and cross-cultural differences, without human review of individual conversations.</p>
<p>The system also enhances AI safety by detecting coordinated misuse and improving safety classifiers. The authors discuss Clio's limitations and ethical considerations, emphasizing its potential for pro-social applications and the importance of empirical transparency in AI governance.</p>
<p>They validate Clio's accuracy and privacy through extensive evaluations using both synthetic and real-world data.</p>

## Why does owning the AI stack matter?

**ibl.ai is the agentic AI platform where you own all the code and the data. You self-host the entire stack inside your own perimeter, run it model-agnostic across any LLM and switch anytime, and pay by usage with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere: your cloud, on-premise, GovCloud, or fully air-gapped.**

- **You own all the code and the data.** Full source code under a perpetual license, running on your infrastructure. Not API access to someone else's platform — the stack itself is yours.
- **Model-agnostic.** Run any LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Command, or your own fine-tune — and switch providers without rewriting the platform.
- **No per-seat pricing.** Usage-based billing against a budget cap you set. Cost tracks what your organization actually uses, not how many people you employ.
- **Deploy anywhere.** Your cloud, your VPC, on-premise, GovCloud, or a fully air-gapped network with no outbound connectivity.

1.6M+ users across 400+ organizations run the platform this way, including NVIDIA, MIT, and Syracuse University.

ibl.ai is family-owned and operated from New York, NY — a U.S.-headquartered, domestically-owned long-term partner, not a vendor that sells licenses and moves on.
