Solution 2: Federated Learning (The "Secret Recipe")

Usually, companies take your data to their big servers to train AI.
Federated Learning flips this. The AI comes to you.

  2. The AI learns from your texts on your phone.
  3. Your phone sends only the lesson learned (math updates) back to the company, not your texts.
