The advancement of #GenAI has driven exciting growth in enterprise applications across industries and encouraged further development of emerging tech, but this transformation presents some challenges given the increased computing power and potential biases associated with AI models. To address these challenges, NTT RESEARCH's Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab has proposed a method to overcome bias in deep neural networks, a type of #AI. These findings represent a crucial breakthrough given their potential to decrease the presence of bias in AI models used in hiring processes, the criminal justice system and the healthcare industry. Non-biased AI models have the capacity to improve productivity for these applications as well. NTT Research’s approach involves the implementation of a corrective algorithm called Connectivity-Based Fine-Tuning (CBFT) to overcome the limitations of naive fine-tuning, which is the usual method of decreasing a deep neural network’s errors. Chris Shaw, our CMO, breaks down the implications of this research and discusses the ethical concerns surrounding AI in his article in Unite.AI.

In collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, NTT RESEARCH researchers have developed a #quantum-based security protocol to protect confidential patient data and proprietary deep-learning models during cloud-based computations. By encoding data into laser light, the protocol leverages quantum mechanics to prevent attackers from copying or intercepting information. The technique maintains 96 percent accuracy while ensuring robust security measures. This innovation enables the use of powerful deep-learning models without compromising data privacy or the proprietary nature of the models.
