Public sector and commercial enterprises are incorporating ever-increasing amounts of data into their operations. As such, it is incumbent on corporate IT administrators to ensure that the necessary data privacy and security controls are in place and functioning effectively.
At the same time, executives are also being asked to integrate smarter tools into their operations to increase employee productivity.
At Google Cloud Next '24, Google Cloud experts Ganesh Chilakapati (Product Management Director) and Luke Camerley (Group Product Manager) will be joining forces with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), British energy retailer OVO, and global industrial company Air.・Liquid executives participated. Gas talks with his suppliers and explains how Google Cloud's generative AI capabilities are helping them achieve these goals.
How Gemini protects your data
Chilakapati and Camery demonstrated some of the distinctive features of Gemini and Google Workspace, highlighting features such as client-side encryption and a comprehensive security framework. They also explained what happens to the data within Gemini.
“What is Gemini doing with all this data? How can it be so useful to have such customized and targeted answers? Data learning and training? No. All of the privacy promises we've made to Google Workspace customers for decades remain true,” Chilakapati said. Masu.

“One of the things we are most excited to announce is the general availability of AI Classification in Google Drive, a privacy-preserving, customer-specific model that uses a proprietary data class taxonomy. and the option to train with your own corpus,” says Camery. “By leveraging AI classification and the assurance built into Gemini itself, you can create a virtuous cycle of leveraging AI while protecting your organization from emerging threats.”
Unparalleled security: 5 key points
Chilakapati and Camery emphasized that the platform is built on the solid foundation of Google's secure cloud infrastructure and is designed to provide unparalleled security.
· Enterprise Terms of Use: Gemini operates strictly based on the processor's enterprise terms, not the consumer controller's terms, even though it obtains the latest information from the Internet.
· Client-side encryption extension: Enterprises that have traditionally leveraged client-side encryption to make sensitive data inaccessible are now taking it a step further to protect it from access attempts by unauthorized entities, including other generative AI models. can be protected.
· The foundation of a secure cloud infrastructure: Gemini is built on Google's secure cloud platform, providing a solid foundation for strengthening your overall security posture.
· Zero trust architecture: Zero Trust protocols are built-in, not bolted-on, not just to the foundation of Google Cloud, but all the way to the stack of Gemini itself.
· Integrating sovereign control: Gemini is also seamlessly integrated with enterprise Google Workspace sovereignty management, ensuring the integrity of data digital sovereignty transitions anywhere in the world.
How Gemini AI is improving productivity for employees around the world
These capabilities are especially important for customers like Soren Thomassen, director of IT solutions at UNFPA, which operates in 150 countries. Mr. Thomassen started using Gemini in May 2023 to make chat functionality available to his entire base of users of the fund. He started piloting Gemini Workspace last November.
“As an agency, safety and privacy are our top priorities. That's why we were quick to deploy the Gemini chatbot because it's covered by the same rules and the same controls as Workspace.”
How Gemini AI is improving productivity for employees around the world
Thomassen also pointed out how Gemini AI is helping UNFPA improve the productivity of its global workforce.
“Our users use it as a super-powerful writing assistant,” he said. Project managers spend a lot of time writing proposals. “Instead of starting with a blank screen, you can at least have a zero draft to start working with. But the feedback that sticks with me the most is that people with English as a second language are very happy with the Gemini That's when I heard you say that thanks to Gemini you can (help) everyone write English perfectly, and that it's important for global organizations. think.”
Jeremy Gibbons, Digital and IT CTO at Air Liquide, and Simon Goldsmith, Head of Enterprise Security and Platforms at OVO, echoed Thomassen's testimony to Gemini's usefulness. Each company demonstrated how the strategic deployment of Gemini within their organization helped improve productivity and ensure security. A recurring theme throughout their conversation was his AI's transformative potential in reimagining work safely.
“I like to think of the workspace as a walled Garden of Eden,” says Goldsmith. “We want to give people a really great experience in that garden… and we want them to experiment. But at the same time, with Workspace, we have the ability to have a confidential environment at a corporate level, within that secure environment. We are now able to perform high-level investigation and corrective management tasks.”
