At AWS re:Invent 2024, InterVision’s innovative blockchain solution for data sovereignty and AI lineage earned an award and was prominently featured on AWS’s Twitch stream. This recognition placed InterVision at the forefront of AI and blockchain innovation, and Brent Lazarenko, InterVision’s Head of AI and Technology, shared how the solution addresses some of the most pressing challenges faced by highly regulated industries.
A Thoughtful Approach to Blockchain and AI
InterVision’s solution integrates blockchain technology with AI to address the growing need for data sovereignty and AI lineage. In an era of increasing regulation and scrutiny over AI, businesses need solutions that offer both transparency and accountability. InterVision’s blockchain-based system ensures that all data used in AI models is traceable, immutable, and secure, from ingestion through to model deployment.
Responding to Real-World Business Needs
Brent shared that a real-world challenge from a public sector customer in the UAE drove the project. The customer required a solution that would provide predictability and explainability for AI-driven decisions, particularly in complex and high-stakes projects like water filtration systems. For highly regulated industries, from government to finance, tracking how data is used to create AI models is critical for ensuring ethical and reliable outcomes.
By integrating blockchain, the solution secures data and offers a traceable history of data transformations, providing the confidence needed for businesses in regulated sectors to trust AI-driven outcomes.
“Having a reference architecture that we built on AWS allows a bespoke model that brings in different types of legislation and different types of rule sets into a common platform.” – Brent Lazarenko
The Power of Blockchain in Ensuring Ethical AI
A key part of the conversation centered on how blockchain addresses the ethical considerations of AI. With growing concerns about the integrity of data and the potential for biased or opaque AI models, this solution brings transparency to every step of the AI lifecycle. By hashing data as it moves through different stages, from storage to model creation, the solution ensures businesses can audit, explain, and predict the outcomes of AI models, promoting ethical AI use in industries like healthcare, finance, and government.
Building a Scalable, Global Solution
Since winning the competition, the solution has been integrated into AWS’s marketplace and is already being adopted across different regions. InterVision, in collaboration with AWS, is working to adapt and scale the solution to meet the needs of various global industries. This flexibility is crucial as businesses face evolving regulatory challenges and strive to implement AI in compliance with new laws and standards.
The Future of Blockchain and AI in Highly Regulated Industries
Brent’s conversation on AWS Twitch underscored the strategic importance of data sovereignty and AI lineage in the future of AI. As AI continues to gain prominence in business decision-making, organizations must focus on creating models that are not only accurate, but also accountable. Solutions like the one InterVision presented at re:Invent 2024 will be essential as the demand for explainability, transparency, and ethical standards in AI grows.
This award-winning project is a prime example of how businesses can stay ahead in the evolving world of AI. By embracing blockchain and AI together, InterVision is helping organizations secure data, build trust, and meet the complex demands of highly regulated industries.
