In response to risks associated with the use of open tools, AXA, the parent company of AXA Mansard has developed its own generative artificial intelligence platform that will enable AXA staff to securely access to generate, summarize, translate, and correct texts, images, and codes.
Named “AXA SecureGPT,” the new internal platform is available to 1000 staff within AXA group operations, and is proposed to be rolled out to all 140,000 AXA employees around the world, in the coming months.
Currently, the service is available to 1,000 colleagues within AXA group operations. The plan is to roll out AXA SecureGPT to all 140,000 AXA employees around the world in the coming months.
According to the press release, the internal service tool was developed by AXA’s in-house experts and was built on Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service. It will allow employees of the insurer to leverage the transformative technologies of generative AI and large language models without the fear of security breaches and data leaks.
Speaking on the new innovation, Alexander Vollert, group chief operating officer said “As a responsible insurer, we are very proud to have developed a secured platform for our employees providing access to AI at large scale and leveraging innovative solutions to better serve our customers,”
“AXA Secure GPT will soon be a tool for our day-to-day work,” he said.
Vollert explained that the use of open tools can lead to serious issues, including data leaks, security breaches, and loss of intellectual property.
He noted AXA that the innovation is a show of the group’s usual proactive processes, demonstrating its ability to innovate fast, while leveraging its cloud-based infrastructure.
“This is why AXA is becoming one of the first global insurers to develop such a platform at scale while managing potential risks.” he said.
