I'm a dev and I was browsing Mozilla's careers page and came across this. I find a privacy respecting company being interested in building an AI powered recommendation engine a little odd. Wouldn't they need to sift through the very data we want private in order for a recommendation engine to be good? Curious of what others think.

Interesting, but probably harmless if it's one-shot. In general, it seems like a bad idea. Not any better or worse than other recommendations systems. Mozilla should look into FHE.
