The Privacy Trade-Off in AI Development

The Privacy Trade-Off in AI Development

IBM surveyed 8,584 IT pros: 57% say privacy is the biggest GenAI barrier.

Cisco surveyed 2,600 professionals: 48% share non-public company data anyway.

That's not carelessness—it's a trade-off we make under deadline pressure.

The Research

  • 35% of AI data is now sensitive—3x in 2 years (Cyberhaven)
  • 78% of AI users bring their own tools (Microsoft)
  • 65% bypass security for productivity (CyberArk)
  • 63% of devs cite "lack of context" as top AI frustration (Stack Overflow)

The Solution

The answer isn't policy—it's architecture. Systems where privacy is the default.

That's what CRAFT Framework is building.
