Portuguese Research Institute Launches AI Tool to Accelerate Data Privacy Protection

Pedro Nunes Institute (IPN) in Portugal has created a new AI tool that automatically removes personal information from official documents. This makes it much faster and easier for organizations to comply with privacy regulations.

Instead of manually redacting sensitive information, which can be time-consuming and error-prone, this tool provides a faster, safer, and more scalable way for public and private groups to handle data protection.

Located in Coimbra, IPN is an important innovation hub in Portugal. They have helped grow successful tech companies like Feedzai, Critical Software, and Neuraspace.

IPN is also significant in Portugal's space industry, as it runs the ESA BIC Portugal. This program from the European Space Agency provides funding and support to new companies in the space sector. With its AI tool, IPN demonstrates its commitment to using technology to solve real-world compliance challenges.
