“In today's data-driven society, organizations and government agencies face a dual challenge. After all, on one side they want to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extract valuable insights from data and at the other side they need to protect the privacy of employees, suppliers, customers and citizens and meet legal requirements. As a Solution Consultant at Fundaments, the first organization in the Netherlands to achieve VMware's Sovereign Cloud status, I have recently had the privilege of gathering insights at industry events such as VMware Explore in Barcelona and VMUGNL UserCon in the Netherlands. Here, I gained insights on how Private AI and the Fundaments Sovereign Cloud come together to provide a groundbreaking solution to the above challenges of organizations and government agencies.
“Private AI refers to the use of AI in a private or secure environment, where it enables organizations to leverage AI-driven insights without violating individuals' privacy and without breaching data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR and upcoming AI Act. This includes the use of federated learning, homomorphic encryption and differential privacy. Homomorphic encryption is a cryptographic technique that allows calculations to be performed on encrypted data without having to decrypt the data. Differential privacy is often used when collecting and processing sensitive data, such as medical data or personally identifiable information, to ensure user privacy while still gaining valuable insights from the data. Using these techniques, Private AI allows multiple parties to collaborate on AI-driven tasks without compromising sensitive data.
“Now imagine combining the capabilities of Private AI together with the security and compliance features of Fundaments' Sovereign Cloud. The result is a powerful framework that enables organizations and government agencies to harness the full potential of AI while maintaining control of their data and complying with strict regulatory standards. With Fundaments' Sovereign Cloud-certified solutions, government agencies and organizations can deploy Private AI models within secure, isolated environments that meet specific legal requirements and data sovereignty requirements. This means that sensitive data can remain within organizational jurisdictional boundaries, which minimizes the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
“In addition, Fundaments' sovereign Cloud provides a robust infrastructure for hosting and managing Private AI workloads, with features such as secure multi-tenancy, data encryption and access controls tailored to the needs of (government) customers. Whether analyzing healthcare data to enhance patient results, improving public safety by performing predictive analytics or optimizing resource allocation for infrastructure projects, Private AI integrated into Fundaments' Sovereign Cloud environments enables government agencies and organizations to achieve their mission-critical targets while meeting the highest standards in security and compliance.
“Furthermore, the combination of Private AI and Fundaments' Sovereign Cloud facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing, allowing resources and expertise to be bundled without compromising data privacy or sovereignty. By embracing Private AI within Sovereign Cloud environments, (government) organizations can accelerate innovation, drive efficiency and deliver better services to citizens and customers, all while maintaining their trust.
“All in all, the combination of Private AI with Sovereign Cloud is a game-changer for government agencies and organizations looking to leverage AI-driven insights while ensuring citizen and customer privacy as well as complying with regulatory requirements. As the world rapidly moves toward a data-driven society, the collaboration between Private AI and Fundaments' sovereign Cloud is a beacon of innovation and confidence.”
