Challenges of Data Collaboration in the World of AI | Alon Kaufman, Duality

In a world driven by data, organizations are constantly seeking ways to collaborate and leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to solve complex problems. However, the challenge lies in the fact that data collaboration often requires sharing sensitive information, which raises concerns around privacy, security, and intellectual property (IP) protection.   In this episode we interview Alon Kaufman, the CEO of Duality Technologies, about the challenges and solutions surrounding data collaboration in the age of AI. Alon shares his journey in the field of AI, starting from his early days in computational neuroscience to his experience at RSA and ZoomInfo. He explains the problem of data collaboration and the need for secure methods to share data while maintaining privacy and security.   Alon introduces Duality Technologies and its mission to unlock the potential of data collaboration through encryption and privacy-enhancing technologies. He discusses the unique approach of using mathematics and encryption to enable secure data collaboration, highlighting the benefits for industries such as healthcare, finance, and government.   If your company is looking to scale its AI initiatives, head over to Tesoro AI (www.tesoroai.com).
