Last month at Opaque’s annual Confidential Computing Summit™, hosts Aaron Fulkerson and Mark Hinkle interviewed several of our incredible speakers about the future of confidential AI, genAI, and agents.

This episode dives into a few of those conversations. First, Mark Russinovich — CTO, Deputy CISO, and Technical Fellow at Microsoft Azure — talks to us about recent developments in confidential AI from his research team, including a new framework for thinking about the various security levels available for data using confidential computing.

Next, James Kaplan — CTO at McKinsey Technology and Partner at McKinsey — shares takeaways from his research into how large enterprises are using AI and explains how genAI is allowing enterprises to mine troves of unstructured data.

Finally, Vinay Pillai — Chief Architect and VP of Engineering, Digital Technology, and Technology Platform at ServiceNow — explains how ServiceNow is using confidential agents powered by Opaque, Microsoft Azure, and NVIDIA to improve their sales commission desk response times from four days to eight seconds.
