UPGEAR AI Brings Shadow AI Under Company Control

Copras launched UPGEAR AI on September 1, 2026, a business platform that puts ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity behind one screen with training-off settings applied by default. Data storage and logs stay in Japan through AWS Tokyo and Osaka regions, with an option for fully domestic inference. The launch follows surveys showing 39.7 percent of AI interactions contain confidential data and 64.9 percent of small and medium enterprises leave AI use to individual judgment.
