The responsible use of data, technology and artificial intelligence in business is key for customers, stakeholders, employees and regulatory bodies. As businesses leverage AI for innovation and growth, it is imperative with a robust approach to data privacy, security, and sustainability and to safeguard the ownership, integrity and security of key AI models that form your business’ competitive advantage. At Algorithma, together with our partners, we are committed to developing and deploying AI solutions that are not only effective but also responsible, secure and transparent.
We recognize the growing challenges associated with data governance, particularly in the face of recent regulations like GDPR and the AI act with stricter requirements for AI applications around privacy, data security, fairness, and explainability. In a series of posts, we have covered topics like Explainable AI, Federated machine learning, Data infrastructure and how to reduce the environmental impact of large language models to further the understanding on how to build a sound approach to AI.
Today, we explore how we, together with Elastx, empower businesses to navigate this complex environment. By leveraging Elastx secure and compliant cloud platform, we can build and deploy responsible AI models while allowing our clients to maintain complete ownership and control over their data and AI models, and to optimize their resource consumption in a sustainable way – all while leveraging AI to drive impact and innovation.
Balancing innovation and data privacy
The growth of AI applications hinges on access to data. Data fuels the development of AI models. However, this presents a significant challenge: balancing the need for innovation with the fundamental right to data privacy and information security.
Businesses and consumers are increasingly wary about how their data is collected, used, and stored. Privacy breaches and data leaks have eroded trust, making transparency and control over data, especially personal information, crucial. Traditional cloud solutions, while offering scalability and convenience, often raise concerns about data location and access. Companies may struggle to maintain complete control over their data, hindering compliance with regulations like GDPR and the AI Act. Furthermore, traditional cloud environments can limit explainability, a critical aspect of responsible AI. Without understanding how AI models arrive at decisions, it's difficult to ensure fairness, mitigate bias, and address potential security vulnerabilities.

One part of the solution: A cloud platform to empowering responsible AI
The challenges outlined above highlight the need for a robust solution that fosters responsible AI development while ensuring data privacy and control. Enter Algorithma’s and Elastx AI platform. Elastx provides top-tier cloud services with a focus on performance, compliance, and dedicated support. As a Swedish CSP, it offers additional security under Swedish and European law, ensuring legal compliance and data protection for its customers. Combined with Algorithma's expertise in developing and deploying responsible AI solutions, businesses can leverage a Swedish cloud infrastructure to unlock the full potential of AI while ensuring responsible and transparent practices.
Our joint approach empowers our clients to:
- Maintain complete data ownership and control: Data remains with complete control over location, access, and usage. This facilitates compliance with data privacy regulations like GDPR and, where applicable, the AI Act.
- Enhanced security: A cloud platform with greater control over security measures, allowing our clients to tailor them to their specific needs and data sensitivity levels. This mitigates risks of data breaches and unauthorized access.
We think of Elastx cloud platform and our AI development capabilities as an “AI platform” that offers a range of features that cater to the unique needs of AI workloads, including:
- A platform that scales to accommodate growing data volumes and processing demands associated with AI development and deployment.
- A platform provides access to high-performance GPU computing resources, ensuring efficient training and execution of complex AI models.
- A platform prioritizes security with robust data encryption, access controls, and intrusion detection systems to safeguard sensitive data.
- A platform that enables explainable AI and algorithmic transparency that enables organizations to build and deploy AI models with a focus on explainability. Through greater control over the AI infrastructure and data, our clients can gain deeper insights into how AI models arrive at decisions, fostering trust and mitigating bias.
