Google rolls out privacy tool for AI developers - TechHQ

Google has released the TensorFlow Privacy tool, an update to its open source TensorFlow machine learning framework, that will allow developers to enhance the privacy of their AI (artificial intelligence) models. The TensorFlow framework is used the world round by AI engineers to create text, audio, and image recognition algorithms; TensorFlow Privacy will enable these projects to integrate a statistical technique known as'differential privacy'. "If we don't get something like differential privacy into TensorFlow, then we just know it won't be as easy for teams inside and outside of Google to make use of it," Carey Radebaugh told The Verge. "So, for us, it's important to get it into TensorFlow, to open source it, and to start to create this community around it." The introduction of the privacy update is in keeping with Google's principles for responsible AI development.
