New capabilities make it possible to safely deploy AI agents on the most sensitive and regulated data \u2014 with hardware-enforced, verifiable rules and cryptographic guarantees built to withstand quantum computing<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OPAQUE, the Confidential AI company headquartered in San Francisco, California, today announced it has acquired advanced cryptographic AI technologies from the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC). The acquired technology \u2014 already proven in real-world use cases \u2014 adds two critical capabilities to OPAQUE’s platform: confidential AI model training powered by advanced cryptographic techniques such as multi-party computation and fully homomorphic encryption, as well as post-quantum cryptographic protections.<\/p>\n

Founded by researchers from UC Berkeley’s RISELab, and now with this acquisition, OPAQUE supports Confidential AI workflows across training and inference, moving enterprises from isolated AI experiments to production deployment 4-5x faster.<\/p>\n

The acquisition was overseen by H.E. Faisal Al Bannai, Adviser to UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Secretary General of ATRC, and Ion Stoica, Co-Founder and Board Member of OPAQUE, Co-Founder of Databricks, and Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley. It marks the first time cryptographic AI technologies developed in the UAE have been acquired and deployed at scale by a US-based technology company.<\/p>\n

“This acquisition reflects what the UAE has set out to do \u2014 produce foundational technology that the world adopts,” said H.E. Faisal Al Bannai, Adviser to the UAE President and Secretary General of ATRC. “Cryptographic AI capabilities developed in Abu Dhabi are now being deployed at global scale by a leading US technology company. The UAE is not only adopting the AI economy \u2014 we are leading. ATRC will continue to invest in the research that defines the next generation of trusted AI.”<\/p>\n

“The future of AI depends on unlocking the data organizations have never been able to touch,” said Ion Stoica, Co-Founder of OPAQUE. “Most enterprises sit on a corpus of data too sensitive to use and too valuable to ignore. With this acquisition, OPAQUE is the only platform delivering hardware-attested cryptographic evidence across the full AI lifecycle \u2014 training, fine-tuning, inference, and agents \u2014 with protections engineered to withstand quantum-era threats. That combination doesn’t exist anywhere else in the market today.”<\/p>\n

\u201cAI agents are extraordinarily powerful: they operate at machine speed with human-like capabilities, delivering in days what entire teams would struggle to complete in a year,\u201d said Aaron Fulkerson, Chief Executive Officer of OPAQUE. \u201cThat same power is exactly why they are so difficult to move into production. An agent connected to sensitive systems or regulated data \u2014 patient records, clinical research, financial claims \u2014 can do damage in days that a team of malicious actors couldn’t match in a year. The only way to safely deploy them is with hardware-enforced, verifiable rules: provable evidence of what ran, where it ran, and which rules were enforced. Building on primitives from every major cloud provider, OPAQUE makes it possible to move agents into production \u2014 even on the most sensitive and most regulated systems and data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enterprises sit on vast amounts of sensitive data \u2014 patient records, financial transactions, classified intelligence, proprietary research \u2014 that could transform their AI capabilities. But using that data across the full AI lifecycle has required stitching together point solutions from multiple vendors, each covering a different phase: one for training, another for inference, another for agent workflows. The result is gaps, complexity, and risk that compliance teams won’t sign off on.<\/p>\n

OPAQUE eliminates those gaps. The acquired technology extends OPAQUE’s confidential AI platform across training, fine-tuning, inference, and AI agent execution. It delivers verifiable guarantees at every stage, backed by post-quantum cryptography that protects workloads against current and future threats. For example, ServiceNow runs OPAQUE in production to extend AI capabilities to its enterprise customers without exposing their data. A national healthcare system can train diagnostic models on patient data across jurisdictions, run inference across facilities, and deploy AI agents on live clinical data \u2014 all on a single platform. The platform generates hardware-attested evidence aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR Article 32, and EU AI Act high-risk obligations, proving data remained private, policies were enforced, and regulatory requirements were met.<\/p>\n

Critically, OPAQUE’s architecture means cryptographic enforcement is rooted in hardware, not in vendor trust. Customer data \u2014 including data processed by sovereign AI programs and regulated enterprises \u2014 remains protected by Trusted Execution Environments and verifiable attestation that even OPAQUE itself cannot access. This makes the platform deployable on sovereign cloud infrastructure worldwide with cryptographic proof of data residency, enabling national AI programs to adopt confidential AI without surrendering on-soil data control or jurisdictional sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Across high-stakes industries, the same challenges arise wherever AI systems rely on sensitive data: banks training fraud models across regulatory jurisdictions, defense contractors fine-tuning on classified intelligence, software vendors embedding AI into products that touch customer data.<\/p>\n

The acquisition follows OPAQUE’s $24 million Series B at a $300 million valuation and builds on a customer base that includes ServiceNow, Anthropic, Accenture, and Encore Capital. With the acquired technology, OPAQUE supports Confidential AI workflows across training, fine-tuning, inference, and agents \u2014 moving enterprises and sovereign AI programs from isolated experiments to production deployment 4-5x faster, with verifiable security and post-quantum protection.<\/p>\n

For TII and ATRC, the transaction validates a deliberate strategy: invest in foundational cryptography research, prove it on world-class large language models, then deliver it globally through partners with the platform and customer base to scale it. Foundational AI technology developed in Abu Dhabi will now be deployed across financial services, healthcare, government, and enterprise SaaS \u2014 on every continent \u2014 with the UAE established as a producer of the cryptographic infrastructure powering the next generation of trusted AI.<\/p>\n

“We developed these cryptographic technologies to address a fundamental challenge in AI: how to enable powerful models to work with highly sensitive data without compromising confidentiality or trust,” said Dr. Najwa Aaraj, Chief Executive Officer of TII. “OPAQUE was the right partner to bring this to market because it has already built the enterprise platform and customer base to deploy it at scale. This is what applied research is for \u2014 foundational technology developed in Abu Dhabi, now moving from the lab into real-world global deployment.”<\/p>\n

The announcement was amplified at Make it in the Emirates, underscoring the journey of Abu Dhabi-developed technology from UAE laboratories to international deployment, and reinforcing the country\u2019s growing role as a producer of advanced technologies built in the UAE and adopted by the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
