GuardianAgent:

GuardianAgent is an AI-powered personal assistant that audits app permissions, advocates for users in risky digital interactions, and anonymises sensitive data using privacy-preserving techniques. It aims to shift AI from a data-harvesting tool to a privacy guardian, especially for low-tech and vulnerable communities. Through co-design, prototype development, and user studies, the project promotes safe and equitable access to AI-based automation and supports TDS’s mission to build a trustworthy digital society.
