Space and Time, supported by Microsoft, launched an enterprise platform that allows AI agents to verify private data

According to a report by Decrypt, the blockchain data project Space and Time, supported by Microsoft, announced the launch of the Space and Time Enterprise platform, which allows enterprises to use private data for AI tools without relinquishing the underlying records. The platform can prove that computations based on private data are correct, enabling AI applications, auditors, and other relevant parties to verify results without accessing the database itself.

The first batch of partners includes on-chain asset management firm Maple Finance, Indonesian automotive manufacturer and distributor Indomobil, Oracle software consulting company Trenez, and The Data Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on government data based in Washington, D.C.

Nate Holiday, CEO of the original developer of Space and Time, MakeInfinite Labs, stated that enterprises want AI agents to utilize this information to execute workflows, but the agents do not need unrestricted access to the records behind every computation.

He mentioned that granting unrestricted data access to AI tools would create new exposure channels. The company is collaborating with clients in construction, engineering, and manufacturing to enable agents, reporting tools, and compliance teams to work based on the same set of business records and verify the computations they rely on.

The platform is based on Space and Time's patented technology, Proof of SQL, which is used to prove that database queries are computed correctly and is currently compatible with Google Cloud's BigQuery. Enterprises can run it on their own servers without needing to operate a blockchain, purchase dedicated hardware, or rely on external proof services.

With GPU acceleration, supported queries on millions of rows of data can be completed in one second and generate proofs. This technology can only prove that computations are correctly executed on given records and cannot determine whether the records themselves are accurate. Space and Time completed a $20 million strategic financing round led by Microsoft's venture fund M12 in 2022, and Grayscale previously launched a trust product for the SXT token.
