Press release

Nantes, January 28, 2025 — On the occasion of the Data Protection Day, Octopize reveals its new white paper, produced with the support of the program Confiance.ai, which explores the anonymization of strategic data as a key solution for a trusted AI.

In a context where data exploitation is a driver of innovation but faces strong regulatory constraints, Octopize collaborated with an industrial of the Confiance.ai consortium to demonstrate how advanced anonymization makes it possible to reconcile data privacy, compliance, and analytical value. You will also find the contribution of renowned actors such as : Airbus, Air Liquide, Renault Group, Renault Group, Sopra Steria, Thales...

Use case: Anonymization of industrial time series

The study focused on a concrete case : the anonymization of data from industrial sensors in order to train AI models of anomaly detection.

The results show that :

• AI models trained on anonymized data achieve comparable performances to models using the original data,
• Anonymization accelerates access to data, by removing regulatory barriers,
• The risks of disclosing sensitive information are drastically reduced.

This experiment perfectly illustrates how a responsible data management enables innovation to be accelerated without compromising individual protection and compliance.

Avatar: a unique advanced anonymization solution

Contrary to traditional approaches (pseudonymization, masking, aggregation), Octopize's avatar technology generates anonymous synthetic data Who keep statistical properties of the original data while guaranteeing the lack of re-identification of individuals.

The solution, certified compliant by the CNIL in 2020, allows the maintaining the relevance and structure of the data, while offering a robust protection against privacy attacks.

Octopize is convinced of this: “Without trust, there is no data. And without data, there is no innovation.” Anonymization now represents a fundamental prerequisite for ethical and responsible AI.
