If you voted in our Yes AI or No AI poll, you helped show that choice matters. AI should be optional, not forced.

We offer two different experiences of DuckDuckGo—one with AI and one without AI—so you can use the Internet your way.

We asked a simple question: Yes AI or No AI?
Turns out a lot of people wanted to weigh in.

With DuckDuckGo, if you don’t want AI, you can turn it off in our private search engine and browser. If you do, you can chat privately with popular chatbots using Duck AI.

Vote update 👀

If you voted, you're helping make the case that people deserve choice when it comes to AI. You should be able to decide how AI shows up for you.

Either way, we got you covered!

Some want AI. Some don't. All of them got to choose how it shows up for them with DuckDuckGo. AI should be a choice.
January 16, 2026 at 8:15 PM
Most people feel like AI is being forced on them. Whether you love it, hate it, or aren't sure—you should get to decide.
