Vivaldi CEO, Jon von Tetzchner, firmly states the browser will not integrate generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. He criticizes the industry trend towards automating web browsing.
Von Tetzchner argues this practice dehumanizes the web, reduces content diversity, and primarily serves for data collection.
While rejecting generative AI integration, Vivaldi doesn't fully dismiss the technology. They currently use AI for in-browser language translation via pre-trained models, ensuring no user data dependency.
This stance, reported by The Register, highlights Vivaldi's commitment to user privacy and a non-automated browsing experience.
