AI + Automation: Protecting Corporate Privacy Using Local LLMs
By Saiful Anuar
Overview
Data leaks through third-party cloud AI platforms pose a massive compliance risk under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). This intensive 2-day practical workshop empowers data, IT, and compliance professionals to deploy powerful open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) completely locally on secure infrastructure. Participants will construct completely offline, automated data pipelines to process sensitive internal records and evaluate operational workflows without external cloud dependencies, eliminating data exposure risks entirely.

Prerequisites
- 1Hardware: A standard corporate laptop (Windows 10/11 or macOS) with a minimum of 8GB System RAM and an active Wi-Fi connection. No dedicated high-end graphics card (VRAM) is required from the participant, as cloud-allocated sandbox environments will be provided for technical deployment exercises.
- 2Software & Access: Administrative rights to install local applications (specifically for standard terminal access and Docker/Ollama local test environments), or pre-arranged authorisation from the participant's internal IT department.
- 3Competency Baseline: Basic familiarity with standard cloud-based generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini web interfaces) and general office data handling. No prior coding, Python, or command-line scripting experience is required.
