As concerns about data privacy and national security escalate, Brand Engagement Network (BEN) is emerging as a leader in developing secure artificial intelligence technology that protects user information from potential foreign exploitation.
The company has designed an innovative AI platform that operates within a closed-loop system, ensuring that sensitive business and consumer data remains protected from unauthorized access. Unlike many AI platforms that train on public or unknown data sources, BEN’s technology operates exclusively on client-provided information, maintaining strict control over data usage.
Republican Assembly member Carl DeMaio is collaborating with BEN to craft legislation that would require technology platforms to disclose foreign data storage practices and obtain explicit user consent. The proposed rule would prohibit businesses from maintaining sensitive healthcare, financial, or geolocation data in foreign government custody.
BEN’s approach is particularly significant in the context of growing governmental scrutiny of China-based technology platforms. The U.S. government is considering banning platforms like DeepSeek AI from government devices due to national security risks, highlighting the critical importance of robust data protection strategies.
Paul Chang, CEO of BEN, emphasized the company’s commitment to developing safe technology that allows users to benefit from AI without risking data leakage. The platform is designed to be HIPAA and SOC 2-compliant, providing an additional layer of security for sensitive information.
The company’s AI technology offers unique advantages, including the ability to operate on a smaller computational footprint compared to traditional large-scale AI models. By utilizing client-specific data and running on central processing units (CPUs) instead of more energy-intensive graphics processing units (GPUs), BEN provides a more accessible and scalable solution for enterprises.
A recent partnership with Valio Technologies Pty Ltd. demonstrates BEN’s approach in practice. The collaboration involves developing healthcare AI assistants for over 315,000 students across South African universities, with a strict commitment to maintaining data within secure, controlled environments.
As businesses and policymakers increasingly prioritize data privacy, BEN’s closed-loop AI model represents a promising approach to safeguarding user information while delivering advanced technological capabilities.
