AI Sovereignty

Sovereignty over our Intelligence

Paying a third party for the "artificial intelligence" service can cost us dearly.

Currently in most professional sectors it is difficult to compete in the market without making extensive use of what is known as Artificial Intelligence.

Whether language models or other statistical models applicable to our processes, it is undeniable that, when used properly, machine learning tools can speed up production processes.

However, we must be aware that every time we use these tools, we are not the only ones with access to the information we work with. Therefore, there is a serious risk of giving away our most valuable knowledge to the service provider, so it can, and will, profit from it and, who knows, even sell it to the competitors.

If we give away our intuitions and discoveries about how to improve our processes, not only will we lose the competitive advantage, but it could be the end for our business.

Can AI be used without giving away our data and can we have the same performance as with private providers?

The answer is yes, but it needs to be qualified. The solution is to run the inference inside the company's infrastructure. Benchmarks show that state-of-the-art models are closing the gap with large proprietary models. Besides, this small margin can be offset, or even surpassed, by combining tools tailored to the needs of the company.

Being owners of our intelligence allows us full integration on all processes and data of the company at almost no increase of the marginal cost. For example, we can combine language models with private knowledge databases and tailor the outputs to the formats and constraints we need.

The payoff of this sovereignty depends on how it is used: on the intensity of use, the intrinsic value of the information, and the level of confidentiality required.
