Federal AI Readiness

AI in Government: Why Cybersecurity Must Come First
As federal agencies accelerate their AI adoption strategies, cybersecurity should be the top priority. Adversaries are already leveraging AI to launch faster, more advanced attacks - from phishing to disinformation - and the government must respond with AI-driven defenses, automated threat hunting, and real-time response capabilities.
Beyond cybersecurity, AI has transformative potential in public health, infrastructure, and national security. But realizing that potential requires agencies to overcome long-standing barriers to data and model sharing. Moving from a “need to know” to a “responsibility to share” culture - supported by clear governance and technical safeguards - is essential.
Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) like secure multiparty computation, homomorphic encryption, and federated learning are key enablers. They allow agencies to collaborate securely on sensitive data while protecting civil liberties. Companies like Duality Technologies are leading the way, helping the government balance innovation, compliance, and public trust.

AI & Data Regulations: Key Insights, Strategies, & Technologies for Growth

Learn how Mastercard has taken the lead in effective anti Fraud, KYC, and AML efforts with a privacy protected workflow via Duality (as published by the IMDA).

Fighting financial crimes is a data game. Crime fighters need answers quickly and must ensure their investigations remain confidential, as not to leak their progress to suspected organizations or individuals. However, criminals continue to evade authorities and slip through the cracks despite efforts around KYC and AML.

Why? Because data protection requirements slow and limit what data can be shared, and with whom. The criminals know this and hide behind our own processes, and they're winning.

However, those hindrances are eliminated when advanced encryption for data in-use is operationalized into these processes. 

The result is a near-instant, self-service means of gathering and using information instead of waiting for weeks or months for an answer about a transaction, identity, or other.

See how Mastercard and other financial institutions have upleveled their internal KYC and AML efforts while also improving their response time when collaborating on government investigations.

"How can we customize models on sensitive client data that we can't have while protecting our model IP?"

Today, we'll show you how our Confidential AI solution operationalizes advanced technologies and techniques (confidential computing, federated learning) into a plug-and-play software solution that AI and data teams can trust, and use.

Many organizations today have been developing proprietary models (e.g., risk models, predictive models) that are useful in guiding internal decisions and improving client services. Today, these clients are demanding customized models using their sensitive enterprise data.

Unfortunately, traditional methods of protecting data and software aren't enough to turn this demand into a new, scalable stream of revenue.

Join us as we discuss and show how our clients are accelerating time to market for ML/AI focused initiatives.

Protect the data. Protect the model. Leap ahead of the competition.

How to Customize Models for Clients, Securely

Governments around the world share a common goal: make better use of data by increasing data sharing while increasing data protections.

The traditional means of satisfying regulations and agency policies are typically done with checkpoints to anonymize or otherwise obfuscate both the data and the use of the data. These traditional methods strain budgets, slow progress, and limit the accuracy of data insights.

Instead, Duality offers quantum-secure data guardrails that accelerate and grow the speed and scale of sensitive data operations while also eliminating as much as 90% of costs for high-security environments.

This means faster and greater collaboration across agencies, with coalition partners, and streamlined use of PAI/CAI while maintaining Operatonal Security.

The Key to Digital Transformation: Privacy-by-Design

The practical applications of privacy technologies today go far beyond compliance and ethics. While those things are important, PETs will unlock massive growth potential for today’s data-driven and AI economies.


AI is about as disruptive as a technology gets. Behind the tremendous amount of benefits that can be achieved with AI, lies significant risk–and world leaders and regulating bodies are working hard to find answers to difficult questions. Theory aside, we have real methods for responsible AI model development and training available today. For many organizations, the first challenge in AI development is data acquisition and governance. Data quality, diversity, and volume is critical throughout the AI SDLC and extends into monetization when customizing models for clients. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how privacy technologies are being operationalized to fill risk gaps in the wake of AI, enabling greater growth at the same time.

Accelerate AI Development with Privacy Protected AI Collaboration

We have collaborated with industry experts to create a new, exclusive webinar that unpacks the fundamental need for, and challenges that surround, data in the global fight against financial crime.

In this webinar, expert speakers delve into public and private sector organisations’ need for data to turn the tide against financial crime, as well as the challenges that surround acquiring this data as a result of privacy regulation, data regulation, and operational security concerns.

These range from acquiring and collating it to extracting meaningful insights without exposing the subjects of inquiries to third parties, and from collaborating with multiple stakeholders to ensuring that privacy and data security are maintained, especially where sensitive data is concerned.

Financial Crime Risk: Balancing Data Needs and Privacy Concerns

Analysts and investigators in law enforcement, intelligence, and national security benefit by utilizing publicly available and commercial datasets to conduct investigations of many types. However, the sensitivity of both the investigation and the data required pose challenges. The first being that the subject of the investigations must remain 100% private and confidential, without having to “trust” any vendors or infrastructure. This ends up forcing the public sector to purchase, store, and protect large amounts of sensitive data - even if it is not directly pertinent to a given investigation. The risk, lift, and expense of such a workaround is the second challenge. The result is that such datasets aren’t utilized as much as they should, which negatively impacts investigation, risk awareness, and national security outcomes. 

Attendees of this webinar will learn:
- Common challenges in conducting investigations on commercial data
- How to achieve zero footprint investigations with privacy enhancing technologies
- Additional benefits and getting started
