Why Australian Companies Need Their Own Private In-House AI

Why Australian Companies Need Their Own Private In-House AI
“Data is the new gold, and protecting it is mission critical for all Australian businesses,” said Mr. Kosala Aravinda, Chief Operations Officer for Blockstars Technology. “By implementing proprietary In-House AI systems, Australian companies can unlock the productivity and efficiency benefits of their typical online chat platforms while ensuring their sensitive data never leaves the country let alone their own secure business environment.”
With data breaches, privacy scandals, & AI-driven leaks making global headlines, the importance of data security has never been greater. Experts warn that businesses relying on overseas or publicly hosted Large Language Models risk exposing sensitive company & customer information. As AI adoption accelerates, Australian companies are recognising the urgent need to deploy proprietary In-House AI stored securely on their own infrastructure, ensuring control, compliance, and confidentiality.

With data breaches, privacy scandals, and AI-driven leaks making global headlines, the importance of data security has never been greater. Leading experts warn that businesses relying on overseas or publicly hosted Large Language Models risk exposing sensitive company and customer information.

As AI adoption accelerates across industries, Australian companies are recognising the urgent need to deploy proprietary In-House AI stored securely on their own infrastructure, ensuring control, compliance, and confidentiality.

A recent wave of international reports revealed hundreds of thousands of AI chatbot conversations being unintentionally made public through search engines, exposing sensitive personal, business, and even medical information. These incidents highlight the risks of relying on externally hosted AI platforms where data sovereignty and privacy safeguards are beyond a company’s control.

Blockstars Technology, an Australian-based AI leader, is at the forefront of tackling this challenge by implementing private In-House AI tailored for Australian businesses. These systems are hosted within company-owned or Australian-regulated environments, keeping data secure and ensuring compliance with strict privacy and industry regulations.

“Data is the new gold, and protecting it is mission critical for all Australian businesses,” said Mr. Kosala Aravinda, Chief Operations Officer for Blockstars Technology. “By implementing proprietary In-House AI systems, Australian companies can unlock the productivity and efficiency benefits of their typical online chat platforms while ensuring their sensitive data never leaves the country let alone their own secure business environment.”

“Public AI platforms may be useful for consumers, but businesses cannot afford the risk of proprietary information being exposed or misused,” continued Mr. Aravinda. “Blockstars Technology is giving Australian companies the tools to control their own In-House AI, safeguard their privacy, and build trust with their customers.”

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) recorded over 94,000 cybercrime reports in 2023–24, with an average cost of $71,600 per incident for medium-sized businesses.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) reported that over 45% of all data breaches in Australia are caused by malicious or criminal attacks.

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, companies face not only reputational harm but also significant financial penalties for failing to protect sensitive information.

AI-powered chat platforms are revolutionising the way businesses operate, from customer service and internal knowledge management to predictive analytics and process automation. However, experts agree that the future of business AI lies not just in adoption, but in secure ownership.

“Privacy is not a feature, it’s a foundation,” added Mr. Aravinda. “Blockstars is committed to helping Australian organisations embrace In-House AI confidently, knowing their data is safe, private, and in their control.”
