Abstract: 

Discover practical solutions for preserving customer privacy while empowering employees in the era of Large Language Models (LLMs). This talk discusses how to balance different employee use cases with privacy-protecting data handling solutions. We explore scenarios such as debugging, analytics, and machine learning, highlighting the unique challenges of LLMs to customer privacy. Drawing from real-world experiences at Moveworks, we showcase two effective solutions: automated data masking for de-identification and just-in-time, role-based access provisioning. By examining tradeoffs and sharing lessons learned, we demonstrate how LLMs can meet a business' goals while still preserving customer privacy. Join us to gain valuable insights into striking the right balance between safeguarding customer privacy and enabling employee productivity through broadly applicable privacy solutions.
