AI: Powerful technology, but where's your data?

AI is hot. Whether you talk to a chatbot, get product recommendations based on your behavior or run complex data analytics-Artificial Intelligence is now deeply woven into the business operations of many organizations. But as powerful as AI is, there is a downside to this technological revolution: what actually happens to your data?

The AI black box

Many businesses today are using commercial Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI services from large cloud providers. Think of tools like ChatGPT, Copilot or other AI integrations into your business applications. Convenient? Sure. But here comes the sticking point:

  • You often don't know where your data is stored.
  • You have little to no control over how your data is used.
  • You depend on closed models that you cannot audit.
  • You risk sensitive company information being used for model training.

For organizations that work with confidential data, such as those in healthcare, finance or the public sector, these are risks that cannot be ignored.

Transparency and control: from nice-to-have to must-have

More and more companies are realizing that while "AI as a service" is quick and easy, it is not sustainable for their data security and compliance. After all, you want:

  • Complete visibility into where data is stored and processed.
  • The ability to run AI models yourself on your own infrastructure.
  • Comply with regulations such as the AI Act, GDPR and ISO certifications.
  • No "vendor lock-in" where you are stuck with one commercial supplier.

And this is where the role of open source AI and partners like SUSE comes in.
