For Trusted AI you need Trusted Data. Every company has work to do to get their data ready. What’s the basics for good quality, trusted data??Companies need to have the right data, with the right quality, in the right quantity.?Meticulously capture data from every aspect of their business and curate it so they can derive insights. And they have robust governance to manage, maintain and operate their data responsibly. But there's more ways to augment trust in data including ability to protect confidentiality of sensitive data, to connect data across silos and to domain concepts, and to generate synthetic data to augment data quality and fill in gaps. Accenture Australia is leading the way with some of the most innovative uses of getting data ready for #generativeAI AND even using #genAI to get their data ready! Join me at SXSW Sydney with #Accenture leaders Alex Trott and Amit Bansal, along with Johann Kruse from #Nvidia. https://lnkd.in/giuAr6cQ

As AI continues to transform industries, companies face growing pressure to innovate and remain competitive while meeting heightened expectations for responsible technology use. Many corporate governance boards are still uncertain about their role in overseeing the use of complex technologies. A new report released this week from the NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors) marks the first formal acknowledgment of the critical role of corporate governance in emerging technologies like AI. The report outlines best practices, including the need for governance boards to maintain technological proficiency and establish clear metrics for overseeing technology use. It concludes that effective corporate #governance will be key to whether new technologies—such as AI—gain acceptance and deliver value for organizations, economies, and societies, especially in regulated industries like financial and insurance services. As corporate governance sharpens its focus on AI oversight, the importance of adopting ethical, scalable, and responsible AI systems becomes clear. #ResponsibleAI ensures that AI systems are developed with transparency, fairness, and trustworthiness at their core, mitigating risks regarding privacy. It also emphasizes the need for AI to align with both regulatory standards and ethical principles, ensuring technology benefits society as a whole. Opaque is a leader in helping businesses innovate responsibly and build long-term trust through #ConfidentialAI solutions that prioritize regulatory compliance, data privacy, and sovereignty. How organizations govern AI directly impacts public trust, data ownership, and the advancement of responsible technology. With solutions like Opaque, businesses can meet higher standards for governance while balancing innovation with the need to protect sensitive data.

“47% of data stored in the cloud is sensitive, yet less than 10% of enterprises have encrypted 80% or more of their cloud data”

AI is becoming recognized for its potential to strengthen cybersecurity measures and tackle the skills gap across various sectors. Its ability to streamline data management processes boosts efficiency and strengthens security protocols. However, the?rise of GenAI?has raised alarms about the effectiveness of traditional data privacy practices, urging a reevaluation of existing strategies. https://lnkd.in/g7nfwXzw ?

It’s been an incredible two days at the NVIDIA AI Summit in DC! The excitement around Opaque’s Confidential AI solution is overwhelming. People are amazed to learn how we enable them to run workloads on sensitive data that stays encrypted end-to-end. We’re optimizing AI to deliver more accurate insights while ensuring data privacy. If you’re looking for truer results from your datasets, with a verifiable audit trail to guarantee your PII stays private, reach out to us. We’re taking AI to the next level.

It’s Day 2 at the #NVIDIAAISummit, and we’re excited to keep the momentum going! Come by our booth (#36) to learn how Opaque’s #confidentialAI platform is driving innovation by integrating with NVIDIA’s H100s to power #generativeAI. Aaron Fulkerson, Jason Lazarski, Jamie Aliperti, David Thornbury and Keith Haller are here and would love to connect with you to discuss how we’re helping organizations accelerate #AI to production by unlocking value from #sensitivedata with #verifiableprivacy and #sovereignty. Don’t miss the chance to chat with us—see you there! #dataprivacy #confidentialcomputing

Data privacy is more than regulatory compliance—it's about protecting the property rights of your data. Imagine owning a home but having no control over who stays in it or how they use it, like Airbnb without your permission. In the age of GenAI, failing to secure your data is like leaving the door wide open for anyone to come in. If you’re not rethinking how you safeguard your data property, you're risking not just privacy—but ownership itself. And your current data masking techniques (tokenization, hashing, pseudo-anonymization, etc.) are obsolete. Don’t lose control of the ownership of your property--your data. Discover how confidential computing protects your most valuable asset: your data. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g8KRHqNj
