iExec Confidential AI Framework & Running DeepSeek in Intel TDX TEEs
The iExec Confidential AI Framework
Today, iExec unveils new use cases as part of its Confidential AI Framework, enhancing privacy and allowing for monetization across the AI pipeline. This framework combines blockchain, decentralized confidential computing, and Intel TDX Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to safeguard data and models during processing. In addition to launching a series of AI use cases, starting with a privacy-preserving image description matcher, iExec is releasing new AI developer tools and providing access to TEE GPUs for advanced confidential AI applications. This marks an evolution of iExec’s AI innovations, building on early proofs of concept since 2019 now encapsulated in the “AiExec” initiative.
A Series of Confidential AI Use Cases: From Image Description Matchers to AI Agents
iExec has released the first of many innovative privacy-preserving AI use cases—starting with an Image Description Matcher. This tool allows developers to integrate AI that verifies protected content matches its description without exposing the data, ensuring asset value and turning trust into a selling point. More use cases like the Confidential Image Generator and AI Agent protocols are set to expand the scope and capability of iExec’s Confidential AI Framework.
iExec at the Forefront of the Global AI Race
iExec recently implemented DeepSeek R1 running Intel TDX Workerpools demonstrating how LLMs can be processed within GPU-trusted execution environments (TEEs), enhancing both the privacy and reliability of AI applications handling sensitive data.
These announcements come at a pivotal moment, coinciding with the recent AI Action Summit in France, where world leaders debated crucial issues like governance, trust, and regulation, where the announcement of France’s €109 billion investment into AI underscores the strategic significance of iExec’s headquarters in France, positioning the company at the forefront of advancing trust and privacy in the global AI race.
