Trust is always a key attribute when humans choose which products they want to use or buy. In the past, this was called branding.
I personally prefer Coke to Pepsi (sorry, Pepsi fans), Toyota to Kia (sorry, Kia fans), or Peet's to Starbucks (sorry). Even if I'd love to convince you that my preferred brands have better quality, I have to admit the main reason is that I trust these brands.
This trust, in the past, was basically a personal preference. However, when it comes to AI, trust becomes a core quality that needs to be objectively validated.
Why? For the first time in hundreds of years, AI is by far the most personal technology that will have access to all our personal data. AI is set to infiltrate all your personal records, communication logs, and social media to find ways to help you. This is not only happening to individuals; it will happen to businesses even sooner.
This puts businesses in a dilemma. If I don't use AI, I will be outdated. If I do use AI, I am putting my company at huge risk. Sound familiar? This was the dilemma when Cloud computing started — except now, with AI, it is much more practical and urgent.
With AI, Trust is no longer just a matter of brand preference. It raises a series of real questions:
• Do I know where my data is?
• Do I know who can access my data?
• Do I know how the AI program is using my data?
• Do I know if the AI program will turn my personal questions into knowledge used against me?
This goes far beyond security. It is about privacy, reliability, accountability, and transparency. AI is not just about which model writes better code; It's about who I trust to handle my business's confidential data.
This is what Canopy Wave stands for. We build our values around Open Community, Quality Stack, and Accountable Trust.
Next time you use OpenAI or Claude, ask yourself, "How do they use the information about me?" When you work with Canopy Wave, you know and control exactly where your data is, what AI can access your data, and even the names of the people who handle your data. Trust is not our branding. It is our value.
