    Why Demystifying AI? AI is rapidly transforming our world, but its complexity and technical language can make it feel inaccessible. That’s why we need to demystify - our mission is to break down something complex to make it clear and understandable and empower leaders with the clarity and confidence they need to unlock AI's potential effectively – just like a step-by-step guide can make cooking a souffle feel possible or getting comfortable with a new language by spending time in the country. From the Accenture Center for Advanced AI, we’re proud to introduce the Demystifying AI series. The series will feature a collection of blogs and articles spanning three key areas: foundational terms, technical proficiency, and strategic decision-making. We begin with the 37 top terms you need to know in AI, providing a solid foundation for understanding the essentials. From there, we explore other important topics at a deeper technical and strategic level such as confidential computing and AI agents. These advancements are more than just theoretical concepts—they are actively reshaping industries and unlocking new opportunities for growth and reinvention.   Congrats to the entire team that contributed to the series! Stay tuned on this page as we continue to explore additional topics, providing insights into how AI is reshaping our world: https://lnkd.in/gDwXY7YZ   Andrew Ng, Savannah Thais, Senthil (Sen) Ramani, Karthik Narain, Wei Wei, Louise Barrere, Bo Zhang, Mo Nomeli, Teresa Tung

    𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗺𝗯: 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴? 💣 Let’s be real - AI is here to stay! As AI becomes integrated into all aspects of our lives, even a slight slack in these intelligent systems can create havoc. And in this pursuit of fast-paced innovation, how do we ensure privacy & sovereignty don't become collateral damage? I recently came across Opaque Systems & their groundbreaking approach to ensuring privacy & sovereignty, made possible by 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, seems to be the missing piece 🧩 Opaque delivers a turnkey enterprise platform that goes beyond the complexities of confidential computing, making it accessible for general-purpose AI workloads. AI adoption depends on two key pillars: performance & privacy. Traditional methods often expose data during processing, creating “vulnerability windows” where sensitive information can be accessed. Confidential computing addresses this by using 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 (TEEs). Opaque elevates this with Confidential AI Workflows, combining CPU & GPU performance, including cutting-edge hardware like NVIDIA H100, AMD SEV-SNP, and Intel SGX, to deliver unmatched speed & privacy. This approach allows businesses to bring AI models from testing to full deployment faster than ever, with a cryptographically verifiable audit trail and without prior confidential computing expertise. This is why I'm excited about Opaque! ➤ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀: Opaque’s Confidential AI platform ensures data privacy at every stage, from data ingestion & model training to inferencing. Organizations can now deploy complex AI applications on sensitive data without exposure, achieving 4-5X faster time to value compared to traditional methods. ➤ 𝗚𝗣𝗨-𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴: Opaque leverages cutting-edge hardware, including NVIDIA H100 GPUs, AMD SEV-SNP, and Intel SGX, to process compute-intensive AI workloads while ensuring data remains private. This blend of privacy and performance delivers results that lower costs by 67% and accelerate AI deployment in privacy-sensitive industries like finance, healthcare, and enterprise tech. ➤ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀: Opaque’s platform enables seamless data integration from multiple sources into a confidential workflow, so businesses can leverage AI on sensitive data without relinquishing control. This supports cross-functional AI applications while keeping privacy intact. Opaque is truly walking the walk with practical solutions that allow organizations to deploy AI confidently while maintaining the highest privacy standards. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄! Have you explored confidential computing yet? 🔐 #ConfidentialComputing #GenerativeAI #PrivacyFirst #EnterpriseAI #AIEthics #Sponsored #Patnership

    Opaque Systems Co-Founder Raluca Ada Popa, at the Ray Summit (hosted by Anyscale), talked about proprietary data + Generative AI. https://lnkd.in/g5shNRyB At Ray Summit, Raluca Ada Popa of Opaque Systems, Inc. tackles a significant obstacle in enterprise AI adoption: the security of proprietary and private data when used with generative AI. With major companies like Samsung and Google restricting ChatGPT use due to data security concerns, Popa presents a novel solution based on confidential computing. Drawing from her research at UC Berkeley, Popa introduces a cutting-edge technology that keeps sensitive data encrypted throughout the entire AI workflow. This innovative approach not only safeguards against external threats and data breaches but also maintains prediction quality. Popa demonstrates how this technology enables companies to leverage the power of LLMs while keeping their prompts and data confidential, potentially unlocking a new era of secure, AI-driven enterprise productivity.
