Pushing Back Against Privacy Infringement On The Web. Pushing Back Against Privacy Infringement On The Web. Of these issues, perhaps the most surprising to find still unsolved is privacy. The first is that privacy is contextual. For privacy purposes, they are indistinguishable from whatever the first party does.

Apple forces developers of competing browsers to use their engine for all browsers on iOS , restricting their ability to deliver a better version of the web platform. Misdirections often derail the debate around browsers, the role of the web, and App Store policies on iOS. The Performance Argument. This is as it should be.

AI audit firms tend to perform a mix of audits and assessments. Audits are usually more official, tracking adherence to some policy, regulation, or law, and tend to be conducted by independent third parties with varying degrees of limited interaction between auditor and auditee organizations. being the only law firm of the bunch.

Before we get into it, let's make the subtext of the proposal explicit: Libraries provided this way will be as secure and privacy-preserving as every other browser-provided API. The best available proxy data also suggests that shared caches would have a minimal positive effect on performance. Spoiler: it's gnarly. Thar be dragons.

Privacy: Are we exposing (or hiding) the right content for all of the people with access? As we consider the identities of all people with access to the device, and the identity of the place the device is to be part of, we start to consider what privacy expectations people may have given the context in which the device is used.

When it comes to leveraging ML in enterprise applications, especially in regulated environments, the level of scrutiny for data handling, model fairness, user privacy, and debuggability will be substantially higher than in the first wave of ML applications. Flock is Microsoft’s reference architecture built to explore these ideas.

Policies built for a different era don't make sense today, and we no longer need to accept sweeping restrictions in the name of safety. In '07, safety implied an unacceptable performance hit on slow single-core devices with 128MiB of RAM. A priori restraint on publishing allowed vendors to set and enforce policy quickly.

In enterprises, we’ve seen everything from wholesale adoption to policies that severely restrict or even forbid the use of generative AI. Unexpected outcomes, security, safety, fairness and bias, and privacy are the biggest risks for which adopters are testing. Another piece of the same puzzle is the lack of a policy for AI use.

Making queries to an inference engine has many of the same throughput, latency, and cost considerations as making queries to a datastore, and more and more applications are coming to depend on such queries. Different hardware architectures (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, …) offer different performance and cost trade-offs.
