Cohere has introduced North, a new AI agent platform designed to address data privacy concerns for enterprise and government clients. North enables private deployment, ensuring sensitive data remains secure within the user's infrastructure. This approach allows organisations to leverage AI capabilities while maintaining control over their data and adhering to strict security protocols.
North facilitates the creation of AI agents that can access and utilise internal data sources without transmitting information to external servers. This is particularly crucial for sectors dealing with highly sensitive information, such as finance, healthcare, and government. By keeping data behind the firewall, North minimises the risk of data breaches and compliance violations.
The platform aims to strike a balance between AI innovation and data protection, offering a solution that meets the stringent requirements of privacy-conscious organisations. Cohere's move reflects a growing demand for AI tools that prioritise data security and control, enabling broader adoption of AI across various industries.
