GenAI is revolutionizing the way we work, but confidentiality may be at risk
GenAI and ChatGPT as a major example of GenAI are changing the way we work, and they are dramatically improving the efficiency in many different fields like Marketing, HR, or development.
However, to work with ChatGPT, there are some drawbacks: we have to send all our information back to a centralized platform. Is our data safe? Do we have to think at every time what is safe to share with a third party company?
There is an alternative with the private GenAI.
What is public GenAI?
We need probably to start explaining what is public GenAI. Public GenAI is a central server controlled by somebody to which several users access at the same time. So it is a shared service controlled by a company where you put your information. So it is a kind of social network, where we upload our data, and get something in return, while in social networks, we may get likes and comments, in GenAI we get a machine generated answer with which we can interact and ask more things.
Of of the problems comes with the confidentiality of our data, everybody would think what to publish to a social network, so in the same way, the question is what we should and should not ask to a GenAI system.
Because the information that we share with a GenAI platform may be reviewed by a human, and most probably it will be part of a new training set. So in the extreme case, if you are discussing about an absolute new technology and you mention why and how you are going to use it, the next training of the GenAI platform may use the information which we provided and share it for example with our competitors.
So the information shared with GenAI platforms is not done in full confidentiality, and you risk to share your data with people that you would not like to share initially.
What is private GenAI?
So we spoke about public GenAI, but now the question would be if public GenAI exists, and the answer is that fortunately yes. A private GenAI system is a platform that is not shared with anybody. The information that you put in the system is owned by you at every moment, and it is not seen by anybody else. That means aso that you would have a system that is strictly dedicated to you and not shared with any user.
In this case the confidentiality question is different, because the data stays always with you and never leaves your ownership. A very silly example is that you may have money and you can keep it with you, or put it in the bank. If the money is with the bank and the bank collapses, you lose your money.
There are many interesting further discussions about the technology, like if closed GenAI models (linked normally to public AI) are better than Open Source GenAI models (used in private GenAI). There is a very interesting technical discussion about both, and some companies like OpenAI or Anthropic are betting for closed models, while Meta, Google and Alibaba are putting a lot of efforts in Open Source models. So at least, technically we can speak of them as comparable, but we will write later about the technical implications.
What is clear is that with a private system, the confidentiality of your data stays assured.
Lean-Link private GenAI offering
In Lean-Link we offer a range of private GenAI solutions. We are working on an Open Source GenAI system that would work on your PC, but we offer also hosted GenAI platforms to keep your data always with you.
On top, we can also assist you when developing a scalable system with GenAI in your own network, where no data will be ever leaving your network for an additional level of security.
For us, we believe in technology and we see the need of offering adapted solutions that can fulfil different business cases.
See in the video below a short example of our platform. Stay tuned for further posts on the topic as we eager to discuss all the implications.
