Abstract: In an embodiment, a method provides an environment for privately exchanging data for AI tasks. Identification of a task to perform, and a characteristic describing data needed to execute the task, is received. A data provider within the environment is located that has access to a data set according to the characteristic. A task provider within the environment is located. The located task provider is configured to execute the task. A real-time, private, and secure network connection between the data provider and the task provider is established. The established connection is configured such that the data provider and the task provider are able to communicate via the network connection without using publicly accessible network addresses. The data set is transferred from the data provider to the task provider via the established network connection. In response to the transfer, the task provider executes the task using the data set.
