Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator that strengthens the security of health-monitoring apps and other AI-powered devices. These apps and devices, which can help manage chronic diseases or track fitness progress, run on complex machine-learning models. This requires substantial data transfer between a central memory server and…

Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a hardware solution that enhances the security of machine-learning applications on smartphones. Current health-monitoring apps require large amounts of data to be transferred back and forth between the phone and a central server, which can create security vulnerabilities and inefficiency. To counter this, the…

Researchers from MIT and MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have created a machine-learning accelerator that is resistant to the most common types of cyber attacks. The chip can hold users' sensitive data such as health records and financial information, enabling large AI models to run efficiently on devices while maintaining privacy. The accelerator maintains strong security,…

Health-monitoring apps powered by advanced machine-learning (ML) models could be more secure and still run efficiently on devices, according to researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. Though the models require vast amounts of data shuttling between a smartphone and a central memory server, using a machine-learning accelerator can speed up the process…

Researchers from MIT and MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator chip with enhanced security to guard against the two most common types of cyber attacks. The chip is designed to perform computations within a device, keeping crucial data like health records, financial information, or other sensitive information private. While this added security…

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator that is resistant to the most common types of cyber attacks. This development could help secure sensitive health records, financial information and other private data while still allowing complicated artificial intelligence (AI) models…

Smartphone health-monitoring apps can be invaluable for managing chronic diseases or setting fitness goals. However, these applications often suffer from slowdowns and energy inefficiencies due to the large machine-learning models they use. These models are frequently swapped between a smartphone and a central memory server, hampering performance. One solution engineers have pursued is the use…
