Privacy and Machine Learning … Is it possible? Meet Syft … The Platform for Building our Futures
We opened the Blockpass ID Lab less than three years ago. Our focus was — and still is — to build systems around the citizen. These systems should respect the rights of every person to privacy, and in making sure we still embedded trust into every transaction.
Well, we recruited well — and we are recruiting well now — and took on some of the finest PhD students you will find anywhere. These students have grown in confidence, and have supported others. One thing, too, we are good at, is collaborating with others and our lab now hosts collaborations with OpenMined, the EU GLASS project and a forthcoming project on build trusted smart cities.
At our core is trust … human trust and digital trust, and the cross-over between them. But how can we support a future world of machine learning and still respect the rights to privacy? Well, it is not easy, but with new zero-knowledge proof methods, multiparty computation, digital…
