Swarms are powerfully asymmetric, but they're hard to interact with.

There's no coherent face to talk to, no one neck to choke.

Without a neck to choke, it can be hard to trust a swarm.

Who is it that you trust?

What do you do if the system betrays your trust?

Our current privacy model also assumes that all of your data goes to one entity who has a lot of power over that data… which isn't viable with an anonymous swarm of untrusted entities.

But if you can make it so there's one, trusted, consistent interface that synthesizes the results of the swarm, and makes sure the swarm doesn't individually get data about you, you get the best of both worlds.

The benefit of a single point of contact you trust, but without the downside of a single coordinating entity.

Swarm intelligence, safely.
