Accelerated Discovery

To respond to the global climate emergency, we're using AI and hybrid cloud to accelerate discovery of climate mitigation and adaption solutions. We're improving carbon emission performance through optimization and capture, and preparing enterprises for the impact of climate change.

Using AI and the hybrid cloud to accelerate the discovery of climate mitigation and adaption solutions to respond to the growing global climate emergency.

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

We're building systems that can convert reams of health data into useable information for clinicians the world over.

For AI to be useful, it needs to understand what’s being asked of it, and to know how to respond. At IBM Research, we’re working on systems to help AI better reason with the tasks it’s presented, such as understanding context and analogies, comprehension, and planning through scenarios. 

Knowledge and Reasoning

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 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.
