RESIST brings together leading researchers in AI and cybersecurity to create solutions that work in real-world settings, from critical infrastructure to autonomous vehicles. The goal of RESIST is to make Sweden a world leader in secure and trustworthy AI, and to ensure that the AI systems of the future can be trusted, even when the world around them is uncertain.
When AI is used in power grids, hospitals, transportation, and industry, the systems must withstand both mistakes and attacks. Today, AI is often vulnerable to manipulation, faulty data, and unexpected situations. RESIST works to make AI as reliable as other critical technologies.
RESIST develops methods to:
- test and verify that AI models behave as intended
- protect AI from cyberattacks and manipulation
- build AI systems that continue to function even when something goes wrong
- design architectures that make AI robust in practice, not just in theory
RESIST tests solutions in real-world environments, for example in critical infrastructure, software services, and autonomous robots and vehicles. This ensures that research results can quickly be turned into practical benefits.
The RESIST funding of 60 million SEK comes from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research SSF.
