Google says new cloud-based “Private AI Compute” is just as secure as local processing
New system allows devices to connect directly to secure space in Google’s AI servers.

TL;DR
- Google's Private AI Compute is a secure cloud environment designed to power generative AI features.
- The system uses Google's custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) with integrated secure elements.
- It aims to offer enhanced AI experiences without sacrificing user privacy, leveraging powerful Gemini models.
- Google claims the service is as secure as on-device processing, with data isolated and encrypted.
- This contrasts with on-device AI (using NPUs and Gemini Nano) which offers lower latency and offline capabilities.
- Features like Magic Cue and the Recorder app will utilize Private AI Compute for improved functionality.
- Google believes a hybrid approach of on-device and cloud AI is the future for generative AI.
