Microsoft-Backed Space and Time Launches Platform to Let AI Agents Verify Private Data

In brief

• Space and Time has launched Space and Time Enterprise, a platform that lets businesses prove calculations on private data are correct without exposing the underlying records.
• Launch partners include Maple Finance, Indomobil, Trenez and The Data Foundation, and businesses can run the software on their own servers without operating a blockchain.
• AI agents "don't need unrestricted access to the records behind every calculation," Nate Holiday, CEO of Space and Time developer MakeInfinite Labs, told Decrypt.

Space and Time, a Microsoft-backed blockchain data project, has launched a platform designed to let businesses use private data in AI tools without handing over the underlying records, the company announced on Monday.

Space and Time Enterprise lets companies prove that calculations made on their private data are correct, so that AI applications, auditors and other stakeholders can check the results without accessing the database itself. Launch partners include onchain asset manager Maple Finance, Indonesian vehicle maker and distributor Indomobil, Oracle software consultancy Trenez and The Data Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit focused on government data.

"Businesses want AI agents to execute workflows using that information, but those agents don't need unrestricted access to the records behind every calculation," Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs, the original developer of Space and Time, told Decrypt.
