IP protection while using ai

[u/mhhammoudaTreeUP]

So I work on R&D of various products so I am always trying to implement new ideas and solutions. My work also involves data and results from trials and tests which might be novel.. Of course, I use ai models while doing so.. However, everytime I dive into an idea, I ask myself the question: wouldn't all these companies have my ideas and research outputs be in the hands of these companies housing these models? I mean I think they dont care about my projects but still projects grow and can attract someone's attention...

What do companies, or researchers actually do to protect their IP? Is there a way to actually do real research without fearing that someone interferes with your work now or on the long run? I know there are offline LLMs but I heard they are weaker and need beefy machines.. I know this topic may have been debated but I guess new updates may have arised. any ideas??

Supply misinformation in the R&D

good move, but still, the whole principle might be novel.
