Concentric AI Vision Model: Sensitive Document Discovery

Concentric AI has launched a new vision model feature for its Semantic Intelligence platform. This feature helps identify sensitive documents based on their visual characteristics. It can detect documents with unique visual signatures, like passports and driver licenses. This allows organizations to find sensitive information stored in various environments and formats. What's interesting is the feature can understand an image's content even if it's blurred. For example, it can identify a passport's biographic page from any country or a driver's license from any U.S. state. Concentric AI states this offers a more cost-effective and reliable alternative to some limitations of optical character recognition, or OCR. OCR needs significant computing resources and can struggle with low-quality images. The company emphasizes that many sensitive documents have a distinct visual identity. This new capability helps discover and protect data by using visual cues that traditional methods might miss. This matters because it offers a new way to secure sensitive information, regardless of its format.
