01 Quantum Partners With Carleton University, NC CIPSeR to Study Privacy and Data Risks in AI Systems

By

01 Quantum (ONE.V) on Tuesday said it is entering a strategic research collaboration with Carleton University and the National Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection, Security and Resilience (NC CIPSeR).

The company said the collaboration will study, stress test, and evaluate defensive technologies against modern AI systems that can unintentionally reveal sensitive information and how advanced Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) can prevent it. The project is intended to provide independent research insights needed to assist enterprises in their evaluation of 01 Quantum's encrypted AI architecture, it said.

The project's first phase will quantify data leakage from a standard, non-encrypted AI system and a later phase will test an encryption compatible model component to show the potential applicability of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) as the solution to help close that privacy gap, it added.

Shares of the company were last seen up 7.5% to C$0.43 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
