"The Chocolate Factory has announced Private AI Compute, which is designed to extend the trust commitments embodied by Android's on-device Private Compute Core to services running in Google datacenters. "Private AI Compute is a secure, fortified space for processing your data that keeps your data isolated and private to you," said Jay Yagnik, VP of AI innovation and research, in a blog post. "It processes the same type of sensitive information you might expect to be processed on-device.""
"Since the generative AI boom began, experts have advised keeping sensitive data away from large language models, for fear that such data may be incorporated into them during the training process. Threat scenarios since then have expanded as models have been granted varying degrees of agency and access to other software tools. Now, providers are trying to convince consumers to share personal info with AI agents so that they can take action that requires credentials and payment information."
Google announced Private AI Compute to provide an isolated, fortified environment in datacenters for processing sensitive personal data and to extend Android's on-device Private Compute Core assurances to cloud services. The design mirrors Apple's Private Cloud Compute approach by emphasizing privacy protections for cloud AI. Industry experts recommend keeping sensitive data away from large language models because of risks that such data may be incorporated during training and of expanded threats as models gain agency and tool access. Providers are attempting to convince consumers to share credentials and payment information with AI agents. A Menlo Ventures survey found 39 percent of Americans have not adopted AI, and 71 percent of those cited data privacy as a reason. A recent Stanford study identified six major AI companies including Amazon (Nova), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), Meta (Meta AI), Microsoft (Copilot), and OpenAI.
