AI Testing

Even advanced AI systems can be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. We’re making tools to protect AI and certify its robustness, including quantifying the vulnerability of neural networks and designing new attacks to make better defenses. And we’re helping AI systems adhere to privacy requirements.

We’re making tools to protect AI and certify its robustness, and helping AI systems adhere to privacy requirements.

We’re working on building the most secure cloud infrastructure platforms. Our research focuses on ensuring the integrity of everything in the stack, reducing the attack surface of cloud systems, and advancing the use of confidential computing and hardware security modules.

Advancing the system integrity of cloud systems in mission-critical situations.

As organizations move to the hybrid cloud, they must protect sensitive data and comply with regulations that allow them to take advantage of AI. We’re designing systems to monitor and protect data, building trust in AI through robust evaluation, certification, and hardening against attacks.

The future of computing lies in the hybrid cloud. We're creating a hybrid data fabric that provides secure,  governed data access from anywhere, enables self-service discovery of the right data at the right time, and takes a holistic view at minimizing total cost of ownership for AI and analytics.

Data Management

The hybrid cloud can help businesses tap into the potential of the cloud, while retaining the benefits of private environments. At IBM Research, we’re pursuing open-source standards and code to create an agile and scalable platform that can be deployed anywhere.
