NewsDatabricks AI: PII Blocking for Data Privacy!
Databricks PII blocking creates input guardrails that prevent personally identifiable information from reaching AI models before processing. The feature allows users to configure and apply PII blocking policies across their account to protect sensitive data.
TutorialsHow to Connect Databricks and Fabric (No Copying Required)
Databricks catalog federation and Fabric mirroring enable zero-copy data access between platforms, allowing Fabric compute to read Databricks data or Databricks compute to read OneLake data without duplicating storage or managing ETL pipelines. The demonstration covers practical setup steps, required prerequisites like storage credentials and external data access permissions, and current limitations including read-only access and support for table objects only.
