La plateforme d'IA et de données d'IBM permet de faire évoluer et d'accélérer l'impact de l'IA avec des données fiables, et fournit des capacités de pointe pour former, ajuster et déployer l'IA dans l'ensemble d'une entreprise. La plateforme infonuagique hybride d'IBM est l'une des approches les plus complètes et les plus cohérentes en matière de développement, de sécurité et d'exploitation dans des environnements hybrides, ce qui constitue une base flexible pour tirer parti des données, où qu'elles se trouvent, afin de bien ancrer l'IA au sein d'une entreprise.
