Google introduces HEIR for secure AI data processing

Google has unveiled a new tool called HEIR within its computing technologies, aimed at simplifying how artificial intelligence models handle encrypted data without inspecting its content, using Homomorphic Encryption. This tool allows for secure and private inference operations, enabling servers to process encrypted data and return encrypted results to users, thereby enhancing privacy protection while reducing traditional security constraints—particularly in sensitive sectors such as healthcare and finance. HEIR is an open-source platform that helps developers easily incorporate Homomorphic Encryption into applications, allowing AI tasks to be performed without decrypting data. Google is also working on developing specialized computational techniques to improve processing efficiency and reduce costs associated with this type of encryption, collaborating with companies and academic institutions to advance its applications and research experiments.
