IE member newsNew advanced AI solutions will stop intruders accessing and leaking your data - Umeå UniversityBoth private and public sectors rely on and exchange data. However, what occurs if systems are hacked and personal or sensitive information is leaked? At Umeå University, a novel security approach to data-driven decision-making is underway. "We will make it really difficult for attackers to identify people, buildings or areas for further dissemination," says Professor Vicenç Torra, a world-leading researcher in AI, data privacy, appropriate reasoning and decision-making, at the Department of Computer Science, Umeå University. The research project "Privacy for Complex Data" runs until summer 2025 and is funded by the Swedish Research Council. Read the full story here.
