Public AI tools can be very useful.
The problem starts when a team wants to paste in client files, staff information, contracts, financial records, learner data, policies or meeting recordings.
That is where Irish businesses need a simple AI privacy question:
What information should stay out of public cloud AI tools?
For some work, public AI is fine with clear rules.
For sensitive documents, meetings or internal knowledge, a private, offline or self-hosted approach may be more suitable.
The best first step is usually not a big AI project. It is a short review of one practical use case, the data involved and whether public, private, offline or open-source AI makes sense.
Gen AI Solutions is based in Tralee, Co. Kerry and helps Irish businesses use AI privately, safely and practically.
