3. WitnessAI has emerged from stealth and claims to address these challenges with their WitnessAI Secure AI Enablement Platform, which focuses on AI privacy, governance, and security.
4. The platform will be deployed as an isolated, cloud-based instance for each customer, with data privacy and regulatory separation ensured through encryption with unique keys.
5. WitnessAI is currently working with over 20 design partners and plans early deployments in June 2024.
6. Additionally, WitnessAI has raised $27.5 million in funding from Ballistic Ventures and GV Management, and was founded and incubated in 2023 by Ballistic Ventures.
