APIs: The key to AI and application connectivity
In most organizations, the API landscape is complex and rapidly expanding, especially with the rise of AI technologies. AI adoption, including generative AI, is driving even greater API usage to support technologies like AI agents and retrieval-augmented generation. Organizations estimate that nearly one third of the APIs they use are unmanaged, meaning that those APIs are more likely to leave the organization vulnerable to attacks.
To unlock the full potential of AI and accelerate innovation, organizations need advanced API management tools that not only provide visibility and control over APIs, but also leverage AI to enhance usability, streamline development, and improve access to contextual data across the enterprise. Build an API Ecosystem to Scale and Monetise APIs, Maximising Value from Digital Assets.
This IDC Spotlight speaks in detail about today’s trends and challenges in API management, and what IBM is doing in this space to help companies to build, deploy, govern and monitor APIs at the scale needed for a real-time, AI-first world.
