Accelerated Discovery

The combination of increasingly powerful computers and AI offers the possibility to be able to detect, diagnose, and cure diseases like never before. At IBM Research, we’re working on creating software and AI systems that can convert reams of health data into useable information for clinicians the world over.

Healthcare and Life Sciences

It can take over 10 years to come up with new materials. At IBM Research, we’re looking to accelerate the discovery process using new AI methods, robotics, the hybrid cloud, and quantum computers. Our goal is to unlock new properties and materials to address global challenges in years not decades.

The demand for virtual agents that can handle customer needs has continued to increase dramatically. At IBM Research, we’re building the next generation of artificial intelligence systems that can understand what’s being asked of them and how best to respond as efficiently as possible.

Conversational AI

To trust AI systems, explanations can go a long way. We’re creating tools to help debug AI, where systems can explain what they’re doing. This includes training highly optimized, directly interpretable models, as well as explanations of black-box models and visualizations of neural network information flows.

Explainable AI

We’re creating tools to help AI systems explain why they made the decisions they did. 

Biases can lead to systematic disadvantages for marginalized individuals and groups — and they can arise in any point in the AI development lifecycle. To increase the accountability of high-risk AI systems, we're developing technologies to increase their end-to-end transparency and fairness.

Fairness, Accountability, Transparency

We’re developing technologies to increase the end-to-end transparency and fairness of AI systems.
