Why is this voted to the top? There are many practical, efficient homomorphic encryption systems. The current problem is in integrating the various approaches together into a single performant, fully homomorphic encryption environment.

I don't understand what you are disagreeing with. To run an AI safely, we need a performant fully homomorphic encryption environment, and the quote is pointing out that we are currently far from that, and you seem to agree with this when you say that we do not have such a thing and that this is "the current problem".

"it’s sobering to reflect that they are still an order of magnitude slower than the performance of the ENIAC in 1946"

^^ does not reflect the current state of the art.

...so instead of emoting, why don't you tell us what is the start of the art? Are we up to ENIAC yet? Have we reached IBM System/360? Can we now run Apple IIs or wristwatches under homomorphic encryption?
