IBM

IBM is a long-established U.S. IT company that once led enterprise AI with Watson and now focuses on enterprise AI and quantum computing.

IBM is an American IT company with over 100 years of history, and is a mainstay in the corporate market, ranging from mainframe computers to enterprise software. It is also the original AI company that led the AI boom in the era before deep learning with its AI Watson, which won the quiz show Jeopardy in 2011.

Watson's medical AI business fell short of expectations and was evaluated as falling behind in the AI competition for a while, but it is currently seeking a comeback with its enterprise AI platform, Watson x. It is a practical route that helps companies build AI with their own data instead of consumer chatbots, and the Granite series of open source models is also being released. The hybrid cloud capabilities secured through the acquisition of Red Hat are the foundation.

We are evaluated as a world leader in the quantum computer field, and we are maintaining our identity as a technology company with two axes: AI and quantum.
