DuckDuckGo's approach to AI is to provide private, useful, and optional AI features — including chat and search instant answers — to people who want the productivity benefits of AI without the privacy risks.
We provide settings that allow you to customize how much or how little AI you want as a part of your DuckDuckGo experience. In addition, we also provide a version of DuckDuckGo Search that automatically turns all AI features off and filters out (as best we can) as much AI-generated content as possible.
If you'd prefer an AI-free DuckDuckGo Search experience, start your searches on noai.duckduckgo.com instead of on duckduckgo.com. Searching on noai.duckduckgo.com works the same as search on duckduckgo.com, except all AI features are turned off and AI-generated images are filtered out of results by default.
Here's the full list of content and features blocked on noai.duckduckgo.com:
If we expand our suite of AI products and features, noai.duckduckgo.com will remain a way for you to search privately on DuckDuckGo without AI.
