Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are emerging as powerful catalysts for revenue growth at enterprises. McKinsey estimates that embracing and adapting to the AI era offers the prospect of boosting profits by 30 - 40%.&nbsp;For years, DataCurve customers have been struggling with the vast amounts of data that they collect and store. They know that they are only analyzing 10-15% of their data, but most have no resources to do more. Even when they have the resources, they are unable to pinpoint their expectations from their data beyond the workflows that they already engage in.&nbsp;For such customers, DataCurve offers industry specific AI agents that allow them to surface the appropriate data in a timely fashion. Further, our Logicware platform makes the insight actionable.&nbsp;DataCurve builds and deploys AI Agents that can be easily customized for specific business applications.&nbsp;For example, DataCurve AI agents excel at analyzing vast amounts of data from diverse sources. They can spot patterns and trends that human analysts might miss or may not be a part of current workflows. These deep insights help CXOs identify untapped market segments, predict emerging customer needs, and highlight potential product or service gaps.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-yap7ahn06glyov3fq4"><img id="yap7ahn06glyov3fq4" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1181310682/photo/3d-render-of-fashion-shop.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=xfonFAE6dJFJOE5YNjh9xWLnK4p12itsC8bUX6U6toM=" alt="Datacurve AI agents work with retailers" title="Datacurve AI agents work with retailers" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1181310682/photo/3d-render-of-fashion-shop.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=xfonFAE6dJFJOE5YNjh9xWLnK4p12itsC8bUX6U6toM=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>In the retail segment, we partnered with a global retail brand to deploy AI agents and analyze customer interaction data in store and engagement on the phone to identify the most active customers. The Logicware platforms inbuilt user engagement mechanisms allowed the brand to send digital collectibles to selected customers. This activation measured the response of over 100K customers and helped the brand identify their “Super Fans”. This cohort had an engagement rate of over 70%.&nbsp;For B2C businesses, retailers, brands, sports and gaming companies, enhanced personalization is a key driver of customer loyalty and increased sales. By processing individual customer data, DataCurve AI agents recommend actions that engage with the fans whether physically at the store or venue, or before/after the sale.

Companies leveraging AI rely heavily on vast amounts of data, often sourced from their user bases. However, this data acquisition must be coupled with transparent consent mechanisms and robust privacy policies to uphold user rights and trust. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently <a data-mce-href="https://www.ftc.gov/policy/advocacy-research/tech-at-ftc/2024/02/ai-other-companies-quietly-changing-your-terms-service-could-be-unfair-or-deceptive" href="https://www.ftc.gov/policy/advocacy-research/tech-at-ftc/2024/02/ai-other-companies-quietly-changing-your-terms-service-could-be-unfair-or-deceptive">announced</a> that companies incorporating AI that fail to abide by their privacy commitments to their users and customers may be liable under the laws enforced by the FTC. &nbsp;Data tracking and consent are not mere formalities but have become fundamental pillars of ethical and legal business practices in today’s digital age. It’s not just about adhering to regulatory requirements; it’s about honoring commitments to users and safeguarding their privacy. Any attempt to bypass or manipulate these commitments, such as surreptitiously altering privacy policies to expand data usage rights, undermines user trust and can lead to serious legal repercussions.&nbsp;Regardless of technological advancements, the principles remain constant: companies must honor the privacy commitments they make to users, even if they conflict with how a company may want to leverage user data.. The FTC even noted that “Companies might be tempted to resolve this conflict by simply changing the terms of their privacy policy so that they are no longer restricted in the ways they can use their customers’ data. And to avoid backlash from users who are concerned about their privacy, companies may try to make these changes surreptitiously. But market participants should be on notice that any firm that reneges on its user privacy commitments risks running afoul of the law.”The FTC’s commitment to combating unfair or deceptive practices underscores the importance of maintaining integrity in data usage policies. Ultimately, true consent cannot be manufactured artificially; it must be obtained transparently and ethically, respecting the rights and expectations of users.&nbsp;<h3>How Can AI and Model-as-a-Service Companies Help Assure Privacy Compliance?</h3>Model-as-a-service companies must uphold their commitments to transparency and user consent. Logicware, <a data-mce-href="https://thenftbrewery.com/ai/" href="https://thenftbrewery.com/ai/">NFTB’s proprietary MiddleWare platform</a> and a CIO dashboard embraces the transformative power of Web3 combined with AI to help assure data integrity and privacy compliance. Logicware harnesses the transformative power of Web3 to fortify your AI dataset security and integrity. As a result, organizations can confidently leverage high-quality, error-resilient datasets for AI solutions and deployments, including:Data Privacy and Security: Prioritize data privacy and security of datasets and models by leveraging smart contracts governing data access and usage permissions, ensuring data privacy while enabling collaboration and data-driven advancements.Collaborative Model Training: Organizations and individuals can collectively train models using distributed datasets without the need for data centralization. This collaborative approach allows for the development of more robust and accurate models while maintaining data privacy and ownership.Digital Incentives: Introduce tokenized incentives for data contributors in the AI ecosystem. Incentivize participation and create a sustainable ecosystem where data contributors are fairly compensated. Transparent and Auditable Model Validation: Enable transparent and auditable model validation and evaluation. Independently assess the data models for fairness, bias, and performance. Foster trust in AI technologies and promote responsible and accountable use of datasets and models, through the use of smart contracts and provenance verification. Marketplaces for AI Datasets and Models: The Brewery’s technology enables the creation of permission-based decentralized data marketplaces, where organizations can securely contribute, share, and monetize AI models and datasets.&nbsp;<a data-mce-href="https://datacurve.io/blog/ftc-compliance-alert-for-deploying-ai--upholding-privacy-and-confidentiality--part-1" href="https://datacurve.io/blog/ftc-compliance-alert-for-deploying-ai--upholding-privacy-and-confidentiality--part-1" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary">Click here for Part 1</a> of this series.

FTC Compliance Alert to Companies Deploying AI: Uphold Your Privacy and Confidentiality CommitmentsData remains a vital ingredient fueling AI development and deployment. However, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently <a data-mce-href="https://www.ftc.gov/policy/advocacy-research/tech-at-ftc/2024/01/ai-companies-uphold-your-privacy-confidentiality-commitments" href="https://www.ftc.gov/policy/advocacy-research/tech-at-ftc/2024/01/ai-companies-uphold-your-privacy-confidentiality-commitments">announced</a> that companies incorporating AI that fail to abide by their privacy commitments to their users and customers may be liable under the laws enforced by the FTC. &nbsp;This includes promises made by companies that they won’t use customer data for secret or alternative purposes, such as to train or update their models, directly or indirectly.While there is tremendous business incentive to constantly ingest additional data, the FTC’s position is that this incentive cannot override a company’s obligations to protect users’ data, undermine user privacy or misappropriate data. Any breach of privacy commitments, whether through misuse of consumer data or surreptitious alterations to terms of service can incur legal repercussions under FTC enforcement.The FTC has previously required businesses that unlawfully obtain consumer data to delete any products—including any models and algorithms developed using that unlawfully obtained data. Under this announcement, the FTC is reinforcing that it will continue to ensure that firms are not reaping business benefits from violating the law.In essence, there exists no exemption for AI firms from existing legal frameworks. The FTC remains clear against both explicit misrepresentations and material omissions regarding data usage. These practices not only violate consumer protection laws but also pose threats to fair competition by misleading customers and potentially granting dishonest businesses unfair advantages.<h3>How Can AI and Model-as-a-Service Companies Remain Compliant?</h3>Model-as-a-service companies must uphold their commitments to transparency and user consent. <a data-mce-href="https://thenftbrewery.com/ai/" href="https://thenftbrewery.com/ai/">The AI Brewery’s proprietary MiddleWare platform</a> embraces the transformative power of Web3 combined with AI to help assure data integrity and privacy compliance.

Imagine NFTs acting like VIP passes to specific ad campaigns. Customers who hold relevant NFTs would see your targeted ads, ensuring relevance and respecting user privacy.

CarbonCX and DATACURVE Announce Development Partnership for Sustainability

The digital collaboration helps to raise awareness of the importance of vision care in a unique way while highlighting the global impact of uncorrected poor vision.&nbsp;The Group’s licensed brand, KODAK Lens and the <a data-mce-href="https://onesight.essilorluxottica.com/" href="https://onesight.essilorluxottica.com/">OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation</a> recently celebrated their first-of-its kind digital collaboration, which aims to highlight the global impact of uncorrected poor vision. The partnership includes the digitization of Kody, a loveable astronaut mascot and digital collectible that builds on KODAK’s legacy of doing good, while raising awareness on the importance of good vision with its existing ‘Gift of Great Vision’ initiative.Launched as a limited edition non-fungible token (NFT), eligible consumers who purchased a pair of KODAK Lenses during the campaign period from Dec 2022 to Feb 2023 were invited to redeem a Kody digital collectible through a dedicated link shared with them. Built on the Polygon network, an Ethereum* scaling tool, the Kody NFTs are hosted on one of the world’s most energy efficient blockchain networks.Established in 2021, the ‘Gift of Great Vision’ initiative donates a pair of glasses for every pair of KODAK Lenses purchased. As a badge of support, the Kody collectibles are aimed at recognizing and uniting consumers who contribute to the cause.Thanks to the support of KODAK Lens distributors and wearers worldwide, more than 130,000 pairs of glasses were donated to the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation from 2021 to 2022.In particular, the Group’s Wholesale Malaysian entity, Frames ‘N’ Lenses, contributed over 70,000 pairs that were donated by consumers in Malaysia in 2022 alone.Uncorrected poor vision affects 1 in 3 people globally. 90% of these people live in developing communities where access to and awareness of vision care remains low. By injecting digital creativity within existing philanthropic efforts, the collaboration aims to embed itself into consumers’ digital lifestyle, while creating a community of like-minded and tech savvy individuals who want to continue supporting KODAK Lens and the Foundation’s vision care efforts.7 markets currently participate in the program: Brazil, China, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa, United States.*Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain that allows smart contracts and decentralized applications to operate on its networkClick <a data-mce-href="https://onesight.essilorluxottica.com/" href="https://onesight.essilorluxottica.com/">here</a> to find out more about the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, and <a data-mce-href="https://kodaklens.sg/" href="https://kodaklens.sg/">here</a> to find out more about KODAK Lens.This story first appeared <a data-mce-href="https://www.essilorluxottica.com/en/newsroom/stories/onesight-essilorluxottica-foundation-and-kodak-lens/" href="https://www.essilorluxottica.com/en/newsroom/stories/onesight-essilorluxottica-foundation-and-kodak-lens/">here</a>.
