International Business Machines pushes for transparent development in business artificial intelligence

At VB Transform 2024, IBM's Cox presented a persuasive rationale for collaborative development in corporate artificial intelligence. The speaker, Vice President of AI models and head at the joint MIT and IBM artificial intelligence laboratory, underscored the importance of openness in tech progress, especially in the present artificial intelligence ecosystem.
The IBM executive pointed out the multifaceted essence of openness in machine learning, questioning the two-dimensional view of the idea. He pointed out the growing ecosystem of open models from various sources, including technology corporations, academic institutions, and nation-states.
However, he expressed concerns about the quality of accessibility in various AI language systems, observing that certain models offer barely more than a collection of data points without openness in their creation techniques.
