Confidential Computing (CC) is emerging as a critical technology for securing sensitive data during AI computations. Unlike traditional encryption methods that protect data at rest and in transit, CC safeguards data while it is actively being processed within hardware-rooted trusted zones called Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). This approach is vital for AI, which requires vast amounts of data, often sensitive, for training and inference, thereby mitigating risks of breaches, intellectual property theft, and regulatory non-compliance. Major technology providers like Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA, along with cloud giants such as Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, are developing and implementing CC solutions to support AI workloads, including those on GPUs.
