A research paper proposes PROPS (Protected Pipelines), a framework that unlocks high-quality Deep Web data (medical records, financial documents, private databases) for AI training without exposing raw data. PROPS uses privacy-preserving oracles to verify data authenticity, secure hardware enclaves (like Intel SGX or NVIDIA H100 TEEs) to isolate training, and opt-in consent mechanisms that can compensate data owners. The framework also applies to inference, enabling verified loan decisions without document exposure. Current barriers include scaling secure enclaves to large GPU clusters, but lighter-weight versions are deployable today. The core argument: the AI data crisis is a trust problem, not a scarcity problem. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
