Renen Hallak is the co-founder and CEO of VAST Data. Hallak joins Big Technology to discuss one of the biggest barriers to enterprise AI adoption: how companies can give advanced models access to sensitive data without exposing that data, while AI labs protect their model weights. Tune in to hear how VAST Data is trying to solve that trust problem by bringing proprietary models into customer-controlled environments, including highly regulated and air-gapped systems. We also cover VAST’s work with NVIDIA, and other AI labs, why so much enterprise data remains out of reach of frontier models, how confidential computing works, and Hallak’s vision of a future with billions of personalized models. Hit play for a conversation about the hidden infrastructure challenge slowing AI adoption and what it will take to bring the best models to the world’s most sensitive data. --- This is interview is brought to you by VAST Data.
