To commemorate Data Privacy Day, Google announced new updates and tools for developers to build new applications for differential privacy. The latest updates will provide developers with useful insights and services without revealing information about individuals. More: - Differential privacy adds noise into the data before inputting it into the AI system and makes it difficult to extract the original data.
- Along with its partner for one year, OpenMinded, Google is launching PipelineDP, which Python Developers can use to process data with differential privacy.
- Google expects to reach millions of developers and companies to build applications with privacy technology by expanding capabilities to Python.
- The library can be used with Spark and Beam frameworks.

 A message from CHILI PIPER How does 2x your inbound pipeline sound? With 60-70% of their inbound demo requests never making it to a booked meeting, Bryan Schuler, ABM and Marketing Operations Manager at SaaSOptics, knew something needed to change. Their inbound scheduling process required SDRs to go back and forth with prospects to qualify and schedule a meeting before speaking with an account executive. Bryan implemented Chili Piper’s Form Concierge, which allowed inbound prospects to book a meeting time in the correct AE’s calendar immediately after filling out their demo request form. Behind the scenes, Chili Piper instantly qualified the lead, routed it to the correct AE, and booked the meeting in their calendar. Since implementing Chili Piper, the SaaSOptics team has seen their booked rate on inbound demo requests increase from 40% to 90%, resulting in 4x more sales meetings and double the amount of inbound pipeline per month.
