EscrowAI: The Privacy-Enhancing Collaboration Infrastructure for Trustworthy and Responsible AI

EscrowAI provides a cutting-edge privacy-enhancing platform enabling data controllers to maintain control of their real world data, protect individual privacy, while enabling third-party collaborators to securely and safely develop AI/ML/GenAI.

Why EscrowAI?

Individual Privacy and Intellectual Property are Protected. Data and algorithms are encrypted at rest, in transit, and during the computing cycle.

Data Controller and Processor Retains Control of the Data. Data remains within the data controller’s secure Azure cloud environment, including during the computing process within a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).

Compliance with Evolving Data Privacy Regulations: EscrowAI integrates and automates the use of multiple Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to ensure seamless compliance with global and local data privacy regulations, including the EU AI Act.

Multi-party Collaboration Workflow: EscrowAI's SaaS solution provides a separate but shared, project-driven user experience for data processors and algorithm owners.

Supported AI/ML/GenAI Use Cases

• Validation

The Offer

• License for EscrowAI platform and one validation demonstration project. A demonstration project is defined as validating a single model/algorithm on a single data set within one month. For questions or to learn more about additional plans for project computing capacity, contact BeeKeeperAI at learnmore@beekeeperai.com.
• Platform familiarization testing. 30 days of familiarization testing, defined as a model/algorithm validating against an internal data set following activation of EscrowAI.
• DIY Activation & Implementation Resources. EscrowAI provides a unique opportunity to streamline documentation and approvals due to its privacy protections. Licensee will receive access to tools to support the promotion and adoption of EscrowAI including:

o Platform demonstration webinar.

o End User Manual with instructions on how to activate EscrowAI within a Data Steward’s Azure tenant.

o Driving Adoption: 35-slide PowerPoint on the opportunities to streamline and accelerate approvals and decision-making for data collaborations involving third parties outside your organization.

o Ethical Monetization Model: Briefing document on leveraging EscrowAI to enable ethical commercial arrangements for data licensing and computing with third parties, including a sample pricing model.

o Legal Opinions on Compliance with Regulation: Legal opinions on EscrowAI’s HIPAA and GDPR compliance; Sample streamlined Industry Sponsored Research contract agreement. Please note: Because neither BeeKeeperAI nor the third party ever takes possession of the data the HIPAA BAA is no longer required.

o Institutional Review Board (IRB) Sample: IRB structure and sample submission language for projects conducted in EscrowAI.

o Implementation Tools: Algorithm Owner Roles & Responsibilities; Data Controller Roles & Responsibilities; Project Opportunity Statement Template

o Communication/Promotion Materials: 1-page overview for End User internal stakeholders; 1-page overview for End User principal investigators; 1-page overview for potential third-party collaborators; Non-NDA PowerPoint overview of EscrowAI

• Optional: Nordic Global Activation & Implementation Resources. Nordic offers two levels of services to assist data controllers and processors to activate EscrowAI including: a) Wrap-around services or b) Pre-defined Nordic Advisory consulting hours. Please refer to Nordic-EscrowAI Services.

Data controller Azure provisioning

Implementation requires one-time provisioning of Azure services in the data controller’s Azure subscription. These Azure services allow EscrowAI to provision and decommission a Trusted Execution Environment in the Data Steward’s Azure subscription automatically (including confidential virtual machines and confidential container groups). This will require 1-2 days for a data controller-sourced Azure cloud engineer to activate (not included).

• At the end of 1 year, the license will automatically renew unless it is terminated.
