IBM and Meta have co-launched an international community of technology developers, researchers, and adopters, dubbed AI Alliance, to advance open, safe, and responsible artificial intelligence (AI).
The AI Alliance has been introduced in association with more than 50 founding members and collaborators worldwide. It includes AMD, Cleveland Clinic, Dell Technologies, Intel, NASA, Oracle, Sony, University of California Berkeley, and others.
By bringing a group of organisations across industry, startup, academia, research and government together, the AI Alliance will support open innovation and open science in AI.
The action-oriented AI Alliance will facilitate an open community and allow developers and researchers to expedite responsible innovation in AI by ensuring safety, security, diversity, and economic competitiveness.
IBM chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna said: “The progress we continue to witness in AI is a testament to open innovation and collaboration across communities of creators, scientists, academics and business leaders. This is a pivotal moment in defining the future of AI.”
The AI community will commence its work with the creation of member-driven working groups. It will also set up a governing board and technical oversight committee.
Besides, the AI Alliance will introduce overall project standards and guidelines. It also aims to partner with significant existing initiatives from governments, non-profit and civil society organisations that are in line with the work in the AI space.
The AI Alliance will start projects that develop and deploy benchmarks and evaluation standards, tools, and other resources to allow responsible development and use of AI systems at global scale.
It also seeks to responsibly advance the ecosystem of open foundation models with diverse modalities.
Furthermore, the AI Alliance will facilitate a robust AI hardware accelerator ecosystem by strengthening contributions and adoption of essential enabling software technology.
Meta global affairs president Nick Clegg said: “The AI Alliance brings together researchers, developers and companies to share tools and knowledge that can help us all make progress whether models are shared openly or not.”
