New Alliance Seeks to Drive Open Innovation, Responsible AI Development

2 mins read

IBM and Meta have launched a new international alliance focused on advancing open science and innovation and driving safe and responsible artificial intelligence development.

The AI Alliance will bring together companies, academic institutions, scientists and other innovators to build and deploy tools, benchmarks and evaluation standards and other resources that facilitate the responsible development and use of AI technologies, IBM said Tuesday.

The alliance plans to advance the ecosystem of open foundation models with diverse modalities; promote an AI hardware accelerator ecosystem by strengthening the adoption of essential software technology; support global AI skill-building and exploratory research; and unveil initiatives that foster open AI development.

The international group will also create a governing board and technical oversight committee focused on developing project standards and guidelines.

“IBM is proud to partner with like-minded organizations through the AI Alliance to ensure this open ecosystem drives an innovative AI agenda underpinned by safety, accountability and scientific rigor,” said IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna.
