At VB Transform 2024, IBM's David Cox delivered a compelling argument for open innovation in business generative AI. The executive, Vice President of artificial intelligence systems and leader at the collaborative research center, emphasized the significance of collaboration in technological advancement, especially in the modern artificial intelligence ecosystem.
David emphasized the nuanced character of transparency in machine learning, challenging the binary perception of the idea. He observed the burgeoning community of open models from diverse origins, including technology corporations, academic institutions, 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 collection of data points without transparency in their production methods.
