Research Internship – Security & Privacy

Introduction

IBM Research Scientists are charting the future of Artificial Intelligence, creating breakthroughs in quantum computing, discovering how blockchain will reshape the enterprise, and much more. Join a team that is dedicated to applying science to some of today's most complex challenges, whether it’s discovering a new way for doctors to help patients, teaming with environmentalists to clean up our waterways or enabling retailers to personalize customer service.

Your Role And Responsibilities

At the Dublin Research Lab, in the Security teamwe focus primarily on the Security and Privacy ofGenAI. From research to product, we are interested in scientific contributions to the field, as well as real world innovative solutions. Currently we have varied internship opportunities across the area.

We would like to talk to people with a general interest in the security of generative AI. This includes model hardening approaches through curated data sets and advanced fine-tuning approaches, via e.g. differential privacy. Prompt inspection for security threats. Model output analysis to ascertain levels of sensitive information leakage etc. The internship will aim for publications in top-tier conferences, NeurIPS, AAAI, ICML, etc.
