Integration of IBM watsonx and CLEAR Identity Platform Enhances Enterprise Scale Data Tokenization on Patented Information Data Exchange®

AI Agents—Data Vault Bank, DataScore and DataValue—Now to be Powered by IBM watsonx for Secure and Scalable Monetization

Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), leading the way in AI data experience, valuation, and monetization, today announced its inclusion in IBM’s prestigious Partner Plus program. As one of IBM’s 500 global partners, Datavault AI will leverage IBM watsonx™ to enhance its AI agents—Data Vault Bank®, DataScore® and DataValue®—driving the next wave of AI-powered financial modeling and tokenization.

This collaboration is bolstered by Datavault AI’s completed integration with CLEAR, its trusted identity and Know Your Customer (KYC) partner. Together, they form a key component of Datavault AI’s patented Data Vault Web 3.0 platform, which continues to evolve with next-generation data indexing, perception and monetization capabilities. Further enhancements are underway through a strategic alliance with NYIAX, which is integrating with Data Vault via the Information Data Exchange®.

“Datavault AI’s inclusion in IBM’s Partner Plus program is a major milestone in our mission to redefine data as a financial asset,” said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “By integrating IBM watsonx’s AI governance and automation tools, we ensure our AI agents provide secure, compliant and scalable monetization solutions for enterprises globally.”

According to McKinsey & Company, generative AI is projected to add between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion annuallyⁱ across key business applications, making AI-driven automation one of the most significant investment frontiers in enterprise technology.

“At CLEAR, we believe identity is foundational across so many industries,” said Andres Ricaurte, Head of Consumer and Financial Services at CLEAR. “We are partnering with Datavault AI to deliver our secure, KYC compliant solution for its customers.”

Datavault AI has developed a fully integrated AI-powered ecosystem that enables organizations to monetize their data assets through its three flagship AI agents:

Data Vault Bank®: A Web 3.0-powered AI engine that converts enterprise data into structured, tradable assets.

DataScore®: A patented AI-driven scoring and risk analysis tool that assess data quality and ensures compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other regulatory standards.

DataValue®: A patented AI-driven pricing engine that assigns real-world financial valuations to enterprise data, creating new liquidity and trading opportunities​.

By integrating these AI agents with IBM watsonx, Datavault AI enables enterprises to harness AI-powered data valuation without the risks of regulatory scrutiny or privacy violations. Watsonx’s governance tools mitigate AI bias, prevent model drift and ensure compliance across highly regulated industries, including finance, healthcare, and government.

Additionally, Datavault AI will leverage IBM’s synthetic data generation technology, allowing clients to train AI models without exposing sensitive customer data—a key advantage for industries with strict privacy requirements. Additionally, integration with IBM watsonx Orchestrate, an automation framework for managing AI agents, will streamline enterprise financial modeling, risk assessment, and pricing strategies across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environment.

“As my exciting first 90 days come to a crescendo under the Datavault AI brand name, it’s abundantly clear that enterprises are seeking new revenue streams, and our AI-driven platform is a logical mean to facilitate that. IBM’s AI ecosystem enhances our ability to scale AI monetization across multiple industries while ensuring the highest levels of compliance and security. Through strategic partnerships with IBM, CLEAR, and NYIAX, we are pioneering a new data economy that drives real financial value for our customers,” added Bradley.

Datavault AI’s inclusion in IBM’s Partner Plus program will accelerate adoption of AI-driven data valuation and licensing across industries. With AI-powered data assets projected to become the next trillion-dollar market, this partnership positions Datavault AI as a leader in AI-driven financial modeling​.
