Artificial intelligence has long been active in the background at GMX &#8211; for example, in inbox sorting or the detection of spam and phishing. The new functions now allow for the summarization of extensive newsletters, contracts, or travel bookings within the inbox. When composing messages, the digital assistant helps with drafting, style optimization, or translation.<\/p>\n<p>    Hagenau stated that the company uses open-source models that it can host itself. &#8216;If we were to use a language model from OpenAI or another US provider, we would have to send the data to them in the USA. However, that fundamentally contradicts our data protection promise.&#8217; By using open-source AI language models, it is guaranteed that user data neither flows to external AI platforms nor is used for their training purposes.\/wdw\/DP\/zb<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketscreener.com\/news\/united-internet-brand-gmx-sees-customer-surge-amid-data-privacy-concerns-ce7f5ad9d088f62c\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United Internet brand GMX sees customer surge amid data privacy concerns https:\/\/www.marketscreener.com\/news\/united-internet-brand-gmx-sees-customer-surge-amid-data-privacy-concerns-ce7f5ad9d088f62c Publish Date: 2026-05-21&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":250977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.marketscreener.com\/images\/twitter_MS_fdblanc.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-250976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250976"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250976"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":250979,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250976\/revisions\/250979"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
