IBM pushes for transparent development in business artificial intelligence

At VB Transform 2024, International Business Machines' David Cox showcased a compelling argument for collaborative development in business machine learning. The speaker, VP of AI models and director at the joint MIT and IBM artificial intelligence laboratory, underscored the importance of transparency in innovation, particularly in the present machine learning environment.
Cox highlighted the complex essence of accessibility in AI, challenging the simplistic perception of the principle. He observed the burgeoning ecosystem of open models from diverse origins, including technology corporations, research centers, and governments.
Nonetheless, he articulated reservations about the standard of accessibility in various AI language systems, pointing out that a number of them deliver little more than a "bag of numbers" devoid of openness in their creation techniques.
