Google's Private AI Compute team announced a persistent memory layer (Sep 23) that stores user data encrypted in the cloud with decryption keys held only on the user's device, so Google itself cannot read it. It uses secure enclaves plus device-derived keys, publishes a tamper-proof public record of the server software, and is undergoing an independent security audit.

Why it matters

A concrete architecture for cloud AI that keeps processing useful while leaving the provider unable to decrypt user data.
