PVML is offering an interesting solution by combining a ChatGPT-like tool for analyzing data with the safety guarantees of differential privacy.
It’s much easier, faster and more efficient — and our secret sauce, differential privacy, enables this integration very easily.”Differential privacy is far from a new concept.
The team argues that today’s data access solutions are ineffective and create a lot of overhead.
The promise of using differential privacy means that PVML’s users don’t have to make changes to the original data.
“That’s a taste of things to come, and organizations who adopt AI today will be a step ahead tomorrow.

It’s true many of them have brand profiles, but it’s likely they also have their own private accounts, like Megan Thee Stallion insinuated during her panel.
Spotify already found success with its popular AI DJ feature, and now the streaming music service is bringing AI to playlist creation.
The company on Monday introduced AI playlists into beta, a new option that allows users to generate a playlist based on written prompts.
In terms of the technology, Spotify says it’s using large language models (LLMs) to understand the user’s intent.
A pop-up menu appears showing the AI Playlist as a new option alongside the existing “Playlist” and “Blend” options.
Ahead of AI playlists, Spotify launched a similar feature, Niche Mixes, that allowed users to create personalized playlists using prompts, but the product did not leverage AI technology and was more limited in terms of its language understanding.

AI-powered itineraries: In an upgrade to its Search Generative Experience, Google has added the ability for users to ask Google Search to plan a travel itinerary.

In the summer after his freshman year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, an engineering school in Worcester, Massachusetts, Cyvl.ai co-founder and CEO Daniel Pelaez needed a job.
And during my time there, I quickly saw firsthand they had no data on anything,” Pelaez told TechCrunch.
He saw an opportunity that would eventually become Cyvl.ai, a firm that helps municipalities and civil engineering firms bring a digital layer to tracking the conditions of transportation infrastructure.
“Our core vision and why we started the company in the first place is to help the entire world build and maintain better transportation infrastructure,” he said.
The $6 million investment was led by Companyon Ventures with participation from Argon Ventures, AeroX Ventures and Alumni Ventures.
A new app from a startup called Cherry is aiming to transform the online shopping experience with its AI assistant that allows users to discover products across the internet using just a screenshot or image.
Cherry helps you find products that you’ve come across while scrolling through social media or have seen in real-life.
“My motivation for creating Cherry stemmed from a personal frustration with the time-consuming process of finding and comparing products online,” Kim told TechCrunch.
Plus, users can also share their search results with their friends or on social media.
“While Google Lens offers general image-based search capabilities, Cherry is specifically tailored for the shopping experience,” Kim said.
They founded Poseidona, a Barcelona-based developer of sustainable food technology, which uses that invasive seaweed and algal side-streams — the waste that agricultural producers generate — to make proteins.
In this case, it’s a soy protein alternative.
They’re looking for nutritional factors and an overall good functionality of the protein, Hurtado said.
Poseidona is not the only one using side-streams to make food.
“We’ll ultimately be able to be in cost parity with soy protein.”
Elon Musk’s xAI has open-sourced the base code of Grok AI model, but without any training code.
In a blog post, xAI said that the model wasn’t tuned for any particular application such as using it for conversations.
Last week, Musk noted on X that xAI intended to open-source the Grok model this week.
Some AI-powered tool makers are already talking about using Grok in their solutions.
Yep, thanks to @elonmusk and xAI team for open-sourcing the base model for Grok.
Satellite sensors collect an incredible amount of raw data, but on-orbit compute limitations mean that operators have little way to process this data in space.
The startup is developing radiation-hardened edge computers for on-orbit data processing and eventually even autonomous decision-making.
The startup’s first generation space computer is called the AetherNxN, which is based around an Nvidia Orin processor.
Aethero is planning to release a larger, second-generation module for bigger spacecraft before transitioning to a proprietary space processor.
“We see ourselves as becoming the Intel or Nvidia of the space industry,” he said.
Amazon launched generative AI-powered features last year to help sellers quickly create listings by entering just a few words about the product.
The company is now making it easier for sellers to create listings if an item is already listed on their website.
The e-commerce giant’s new tool uses AI to parse details from an item’s URL on another site and create an Amazon listing.
In the latest announcement, Amazon said more than 100,000 sellers have tried generative AI tools.
Last year, Google launched a tool related to product imaginary and eBay introduced a feature that generated listings from product images.
