With the ongoing evolution of artificial intelligence and quantum computing, 2024 is poised for significant advancements as organizations increasingly adopt and innovate using these cutting-edge technologies. This technological surge, however, is accompanied by a rise in sophisticated cyberthreats. A significant concern is malicious actors’ misuse of generative artificial intelligence — or gen AI. Businesses are […]

The future of data privacy is the end of compromise. With the world producing data at astounding rates, we need ways to put data to the best use while protecting against breaches and ensuring privacy, data protection and access control. These principles are foundational to attribute-based encryption (ABE)—a novel form of encryption that after years

Kazuhiro Gomi, president and CEO of NTT Research: While the timing of threats posed by scalable quantum computers is still speculative, the need to prepare for this threat is real. With NIST’s expected release of more PQC standards in 2024, industries, governments and others are expected to begin ramping up their migration planning efforts. This is based

Even if the malicious use of quantum computing is some years away, the time to start preparing for it is now, says Kazuhiro Gomi, president & CEO of NTT Research: “The need to prepare for this threat is real. With NIST’s expected release of more PQC standards in 2024, industries, governments, and others are expected

Photonic processors are promising candidates for solving tough mathematical problems. Nature Photonics asked Yoshihisa Yamamoto, director of the Physics and Informatics Laboratories at NTT Research in USA, about the progress that is being made in realizing coherent Ising machines (CIMs).

Progress in quantum computing is ongoing and various organizations, including technology companies, startups and research institutions, are working on quantum hardware and software. Quantum computers could one day begin to solve problems that are traditionally very difficult for conventional computation platforms. However, it’s important to note that building a stable and scalable quantum computer is

I lead NTT Research, Inc. as president and chief executive officer (CEO). In this role, I oversee each of our three Labs – the Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab, the Cryptography & Information Security (CIS) Lab, and the Medical & Health Informatics (MEI) Lab – and work directly with each director to ensure we are continuing

The security of today’s public key encryption is based on the fact that huge computational resources are required to solve factoring problems, especially for large integers, says NTT Research CEO, Kazuhiro (Kazu) Gomi. This may no longer be true in the years ahead, he warns. “Shor’s algorithm, running on a scalable quantum computer, will change

Autonomous therapeutic systems are one of the most significant future medical technologies. These systems take over patient care from (human) providers by analyzing, determining and autonomously controlling conditions and treatments. Thus, we need to have a precise simulation of a patient’s medical condition—the patient’s bio digital twin. This should reduce human error and medical care

Researchers at MIT in the US and the Technische Universitat Berlin have built a optical neural network processor with embedded lasers that slashes the power consumption of large language model AI such as GPT4.0. Chen, Hamerly, and Englund have filed for a patent on the work, which was sponsored by the US Army Research Office

MIT system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems. The current work is the latest achievement in a drumbeat of progress over the last few years by Englund and many of the same colleagues. For example, in 2019 an Englund team reported the
