Software Supply Chain

Our fuxi (伏羲) platform aims to assess and mitigate security, legal and maintenance risks of software supply chain across the entire engineering lifecycle (e.g., develop, build, deliver and maintain), across multiple programming languages (e.g., Java, Go, Python, JavaScript and C/C++), and across multiple application domains (e.g., application systems and AI systems).

Trustworthy AI

Assure human-centric, system-level and multi-dimension trustworthy AI (e.g., fairness, safety, security, robustness, privacy, explainability, interpretability, transparency and accountability) across the full AI system engineering lifecyle (e.g., develop, train, test, deploy and monitor).
