IBM champions open innovation in corporate machine learning

At the VentureBeat conference, International Business Machines' David Cox showcased a compelling case for open innovation in business generative AI. The executive, Vice President of machine learning frameworks and director at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, stressed the significance of collaboration in innovation, particularly in the current machine learning environment.
David highlighted the nuanced nature of openness in AI, challenging the binary view of the concept. He pointed out the growing ecosystem of open models from various sources, including tech giants, universities, and nation-states.
Nonetheless, he articulated reservations about the nature of transparency in many Large Language Models, noting that a number of them deliver scarcely more than a set of numerical values lacking clarity in their production methods.
