New CA Technologies Research Explores How Artificial Intelligence Can Improve Human Decision Making in IoT Applications

CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced its participation in
scientific research to discover how Internet of Things (IoT)
applications can use a type of AI known as ‘deep learning’ to
imitate human decisions. The research will also explore how to
prevent that AI-based decisions are not producing biased
results.
This three-year research project is named ALOHA (adaptive and
secure deep learning on heterogeneous architectures). It is funded
by the European Union as part of the Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme, and coordinated by the University of Cagliari
in Italy.
“The future of all technologies will include AI and deep
learning in some way,” said Otto Berkes, chief technology officer,
CA Technologies. “The expansion of complex, multi-layered IoT
systems bring both security and software development challenges
that AI and autonomous computing are uniquely positioned to
address,” he added.
“ALOHA aims to better understand how applications running on IoT
devices with growing computational power can learn from experience
and react autonomously to what happens in a surrounding
environment,” says Victor Muntés, vice president of Strategic
Research, CA Technologies. “We will bring our security expertise to
avoid data poisoning risks that could lead to bias in AI-based
decisions, while our agile expertise will help to efficiently embed
the use of deep learning in the software development process.”
Until now, deep learning AI algorithmic processing has largely
been limited to expensive, high performance servers. ALOHA will
study the use of these deep learning algorithms on small, low-power
consumption devices such as video cameras, sensors and mobile
devices. This will enable them to learn, recognise and classify
images, videos, sounds and sequences quickly and with high
precision.
The ability of small devices to make smart decisions thanks to
deep learning applications will be extremely useful in situations
where human expertise is not available. For example, an IoT
application could automatically provide a diagnosis for a medical
CT scan image in a remote location.
The outcome of ALOHA to prevent data poisoning could be applied
to help solve AI bias issues in IoT applications and also in other
application contexts, to avoid situations as chatbot communicating
a racist remark or a translation application advocating sexism.
CA Technologies supports the development and security of deep
learning applications
CA Technologies will be responsible for the development and
security of the underlying deep learning platform, focusing its
research on the following areas:
- Security: CA research will
include the development of new tools that can analyse data and
detect bias. These tools will be extended to detect data
positioning risks and suggest mitigation actions.
- Agile: CA will explore how agile
methodologies can be applied to the deep learning arena to align
strategy and execution, track and manage delivery in a predictable
cadence, and leverage key data to measure performance.
CA Strategic Research scientists explore new technologies,
applications and platforms like IoT, robotics, Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and more through diverse R&D efforts in
partnership with leading research communities in academia,
government and beyond. To find out more about this project and
other initiatives CA Strategic Research is working on, please
