## AI overview

A Google team reports recent work on fully homomorphic encryption, including video processing, machine-learning model compilation, TPU implementation, and compiler improvements. The article also introduces HEIR, an early project intended to provide a standardized foundation for FHE compilers using MLIR.

## Source excerpt

Today my team at Google published an article on Google's Developers Blog with some updates on what we've been doing with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). There's fun stuff in there, including work on video processing FHE, compiling ML models to FHE, an FHE implementation for TPUs, and improvements to the compiler I wrote about earlier this year.
