Digital transformation through AI solutions: Opportunities and challenges
Digitalization is progressing rapidly and is now influencing almost all areas of life and work. Whether communication, finance or the healthcare sector, digital technologies are omnipresent. One of the key technologies in this transformation is artificial intelligence (AI). An AI solution enables automated processes, supports intelligent decisions and significantly increases efficiency in companies.
Progress through AI: innovation meets data protection
Leading technology companies such as OpenAI, Google and Meta are developing ever more powerful AI models. These systems are often based on the analysis of large amounts of data, including personal usage data. Although this data-driven approach boosts innovation, it also raises critical questions:
- How secure is European users’ data?
- Does the data processing comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
- Who takes responsibility for the decisions of AI systems?
As many AI providers have their headquarters outside the EU, particularly in the USA, data processing often takes place on non-European servers. This poses a considerable risk in terms of data protection and legal control.
The EU AI Act: trust, transparency and security in AI
With the EU AI Act, the European Union wants to create a uniform and binding legal framework for trustworthy AI solutions. The aim is to ensure greater transparency, traceability and ethical and legal security in the use of artificial intelligence. However, there has so far been a lack of practical, GDPR-compliant AI offerings that implement these requirements technically and organizationally.
GDPR-compliant AI platform from Europe
This is exactly where Netways Managed Services comes in. As a European provider with a focus on data protection, open source technologies and transparency, we offer companies a secure, powerful and data protection-friendly AI solution for SMEs.
“We are still in the early stages, but our aim is to create a trustworthy alternative and continue to develop it further,” explains a spokesperson from Netways Managed Services. Especially for organizations that want to take their first steps in the use of AI, we offer an ideal entry-level solution.
We offer:
- Modern open source models such as LLaMA and Mistral
- High data security: ISO 27001-certified infrastructure
- No proprietary license models and training
- Technically clear separation between customer data
- GDPR compliance: No data transfer to third countries
- User-friendliness: Intuitive operation even without prior knowledge
For an uncomplicated introduction, we provide a free offer of our AI solution on a shared platform. This is aimed at anyone who wants to gain their first experience with AI. However, several users share the same technical backend, which means that a few functions have to be restricted.
Our free offer on the shared platform is aimed at anyone who would like to gain their first practical experience with AI. It is already available today:
- the analysis, creation and summary of documents such as
.md,.txt,.docx.pdfetc. (except: image-based content, e.g. in PDFs), - Web search,
- Speech-to-text(STT) and text-to-speech(TTS) conversions for convenient input and output.
The functions are continuously being expanded to cover further practical use cases. The only requirement is an NWS ID.
If you need a fully isolated AI solution with RAG integration or higher protection requirements, please get in touch with us. We support you in setting up an individual setup that precisely meets your requirements and is hosted in compliance with the GDPR.
Successful with AI
The future is digital, open and data protection-oriented. For artificial intelligence to be used successfully in the long term, responsible and transparent solutions are needed right from the start. Netways Managed Services shows that it is possible to provide powerful, secure and ethically responsible AI solutions from Europe, without data leakage to third countries and without compromises.
