What if your organization could unlock the full potential of AI without ever compromising on privacy or sharing sensitive data? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I am joined by Alexander Alten, Co-Founder and CEO of Scalytics, to explore how he is building the next-generation infrastructure layer for AI agents.

Alexander brings a wealth of expertise, having led data and product teams at industry giants like Cloudera, Allianz, and Healthgrades. With a background in startups such as X-Warp and Infinite Devices, he has a proven track record of developing customer-centric, data-driven solutions that not only disrupt conventional norms but also fuel measurable growth.

During our conversation at the IT Press Tour in Malta, Alexander introduces Scalytics Connect, a modern AI data platform designed to accelerate insights while preserving privacy. He unpacks the challenges of breaking down data silos and explains why centralizing data may not always be the optimal solution. We also demystify federated learning, shedding light on its potential to empower businesses, particularly in regulated industries, to collaborate on AI models without exposing their data.

The discussion extends to the value of open-source technologies and why they often emerge as long-term winners, citing examples like MySQL, Postgres, and WordPress. Alexander shares how Scalytics leverages open-source principles to provide scalable and transparent machine learning solutions for businesses looking to outperform in an increasingly data-driven world.

As AI continues to redefine the way we work and innovate, Alexander's insights provide a roadmap for navigating the complexities of decentralized machine learning, privacy-first AI, and scalable technology.
