Summary
My guest on this week's episode of the podcast is Alfred Succer , the founder of Nova Nuggets , which provides private, end-to-end secure operating environments for AI applications. The topic of our conversation is sovereign AI, or the importance of controlling the environment on which AI-based applications, but especially chatbots, operate. Among other things, we discuss: The definition of a sovereign AI system The privacy vulnerabilities inherent in web-scale LLMs The purpose of hosting an LLM on-premises or within a company's own data environment The use cases that most necessitate private model training or hosting The cost profile of private model hosting and training The liabilities that companies face in sending sensitive data to publicly-accessible LLMs in their workflows Thanks to the sponsors of this week’s episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast: INCRMNTAL .
